Tom Landwermeyer, President, HFOT
Homes for our Troops (HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post – 9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives.
HFOT was started by a Massachusetts General Contractor who offered to build a home for a former Massachusetts National Guard Soldier in the town of Middleborough. The Veteran agreed to have him build a home as long as he continued to do the same for other Veterans as well. Since inception in 2004, we have built over 280 homes in 42 states and currently have over 80 active projects nationwide.
