There are more than 3.3 million veterans who have served our country since 9/11. More than 80% have served in a combat theater of operations and 30% of veterans have disabilities as a result of their service.
At A Soldier's Journey Home, we began 20 years ago by supporting a variety of disaster relief construction projects and have devoted over a decade to building mortgage-free homes specially adapted for veterans with disabilities. ASJH is a 100% volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) comprised primarily of current and retired firefighters and veterans. Each year we come together to build a home in just two weeks for a worthy veteran.
Each build draws more than 150 volunteers from all over the nation who return year after year because of their belief in our mission.

We have built homes for disabled veterans in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, Maine, North Carolina, and Louisiana. This year, we will focus our efforts in New York for two weeks in May.
We rely on donations from corporate and community sponsors for materials, supplies, and other support.
"ASJH is an amazing organization, family! I'm very grateful for the home that they built. We feel truly blessed to wake up in a dream/forever home every morning. This has been one of the greatest honors of my life."
