An overview of Operation Finally Home's Smart Home effort

2. Operation Finally Home
• For wounded, ill or injured veterans, surviving spouses
and those looking to serve them…
• …Operation FINALLY HOME is the national, non-profit
organization with a unique network of experienced
builders, suppliers, and supporters.
• Operation FINALLY HOME brings together homebuilders,
the military and communities to build custom, mortgage-
free homes for veterans and their families,…
• …which provides a strong foundation to help them move
forward while allowing others to show support, respect
and appreciation for America’s veterans.

3. Vision
With faith in God and determined action, we will have
hundreds of homes built annually across the nation for our
Heroes, those who have sacrificed while wearing America’s
uniform in defense of our freedoms and values, helping
them get their lives back on track after the hardships they
have faced.

4. Mission
At Operation FINALLY HOME, we provide custom-built,
mortgage free homes to America’s military Heroes and the
widows of the fallen who have sacrificed so much to defend
our freedoms and values.

5. How do we accomplish the mission?
We bring together corporate sponsors, builder
associations, builders, developers, individual contributors,
and volunteers to help these heroes and their families
transition from the battle front to the home front by
addressing one of their most pressing needs – a home to
call their own.

6. Goal
To build 100 homes annually by 2018

15. How OFH Chooses its Recipients
• Wounded soldiers are categorized into three primary
categories:
• CAT 1: Mild injury or illness. Is expected to return to duty within a
time specified
• CAT 2: Has a serious injury or illness. Is unlikely to return to duty
within a time specified.
• CAT 3: Has a severe or catastrophic injury or illness. Is highly
unlikely to return to duty.
OFH primarily focuses on CAT 3 veterans and their families.
Other factors also come into play when selecting candidates as they relate to
location and timelines of the organization’s builder partners.
