Our Nation's Heroes Have Saved Over $10 Million

Minneapolis, MN, July 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Homes for Heroes® affiliates have collectively given back over $10 million to local heroes across this country as a way to say, “Thank You” for their service and sacrifice. The nationwide network of real estate and lending professionals has helped over 7,000 firefighters, law enforcement members, military members (both active and veterans), emergency medical professionals, healthcare workers, teachers and their families, by giving back or rewarding a portion of their earned income, when a hero buys, sells or refinances a home. The program helps make the dream of homeownership more affordable for the hero.

Homes for Heroes affiliates not only give up a portion of their earnings or reduce their fees to help offset a hero’s closing costs, but in addition, every time they help a hero buy or sell a home a donation is made to the Homes for Heroes Charitable Foundation®. The Homes for Heroes Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization established to help heroes in need. Through this circle of giving, each time a hero uses the Homes for Heroes program, they also help fellow heroes that are in need.

Homes for Heroes surprised team members when announcing the recent $10 million in hero savings milestone and made a video capturing their reactions, along with a message of gratitude from Ruth Johnson, Founder and CEO. “Our Affiliates share our belief in saying thank you to these heroes; by giving. We applaud our wonderful affiliates for saying thank you in such a big way. We are also so appreciative of the heroes we serve. They are why we do, what we do. They serve so selflessly to make our nation and its communities a better and safer place to live,” said Johnson.
