The Home Depot to Surprise 1,000 Veterans with Rental, Mortgage Payment Assistance

In honor of Veterans Day, The Home Depot Foundation will surprise 1,000 U.S. veterans across the country with rental and mortgage payment assistance for the month of December. Many of these veterans previously faced homelessness before securing permanent supportive housing in facilities operated by longstanding Foundation partners, including U.S.VETS, Volunteers of America and Quest Communities.

“This housing payment assistance is just one of the ways The Home Depot Foundation and the company are committed to supporting and thanking those who served our nation,” said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO of The Home Depot. “With more than 35,000 veteran, active military and military spouse associates, we’re deeply invested in serving the military community through the Foundation’s mission to provide safe and affordable housing and skilled trades training opportunities to veterans, as well as through the company’s programs and benefits that support veteran associates and customers.”
