Our Mission | Mighty Hero Homes

Our Mission

The What

Mighty Hero Homes exists to eradicate veteran homelessness by providing affordable, permanent, personal homes to all homeless veterans in safe environments with a full array of on-Base amenities and wraparound services. Homeless to Home Ownership is the objective for each Base resident.

The Why

Because They Deserve Better. These four words drive all that we do. While not easy, the “what” part of our mission is simple. The “why” part is harder to delineate but to us, exponentially more important. When ordinary people exercise obsessive obedience in pursuit of their purpose, the unattainable becomes reality. Simply put, the Mighty Hero Homes family seeks to use the gifts and talents we’ve been provided to accomplish the mission of ending veteran homelessness in the United States.

The Win

It’s far more than a home. By providing affordable, permanent housing to homeless veterans, we seek to reinstill hope and dignity to those we serve, believing the communities where Mighty Hero Home Bases are installed will transform generations to come. Because They Deserve Better.

Our Vision

Mighty Hero Homes will eradicate veteran homelessness in the United States by creating permanent, personal, and affordable homes for homeless U.S. veterans. We will accomplish the objective by manufacturing proprietary Mighty Hero Homes on Mighty Hero Home Bases throughout the United States.

Our Passion

It is time to end the institution of veteran homelessness. Measurable generational change will occur in hundreds of American cities because of the infusion of healthy, hopeful, and productive American heroes in the communities where Mighty Hero Home Bases are installed. Veterans will become vital contributors in the societies that welcome, support, and embrace their residency.

Our Commitment

To create hope and purpose, Mighty Hero Home Bases will provide Base residents with employment opportunities, health care and wellness services, and other amenities such as a commissary, gardens, green space, indoor and outdoor congregation areas, etc. Support from the communities where the Bases are built is mission critical. As such, Mighty Hero Homes will recruit and empower local businesses, churches, and other civic organizations to sponsor each Base resident.

By involving area residents in this benevolent activity, relationships will be established, invitations extended, and successful assimilation ensured.

There are more than 33,000 homeless veterans in the U.S., according to the 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress.
These heroes who sacrificially served our country are now living on the streets, in homeless shelters and in other substandard, temporary living quarters. Not included in these numbers are “couch surfers” who move from home to home, often creating tension in the host’s households when their welcome wears out.
Joblessness, escalating suicide rates, and hopelessness are all consequences of being homeless. Our veterans desire and need the most crucial anchor that creates stability – a home. They need a home of their own in well-conceived and developed communities where jobs exist, and requisite care is easily accessible. Mighty Hero Home communities (“Bases”) will provide a safe and healthy environment, creating a sense of belonging and hope.
US homelessness is, in part, driven by a housing shortage crisis and housing affordability. There are simply not enough affordable homes available to our veterans to plan for eradication without the implementation of new housing solutions. Many nonprofit and volunteer organizations give valiant and noble efforts to provide temporary or transitional housing, but such endeavors do not provide long term solutions and end up perpetuating the crisis. The task is merely too large, too critical, and too complex to approach complete eradication in traditional piecemeal and fragmented efforts.
Exacerbating the problem is an observed general lack of awareness or understanding by the general population and business communities. Through our expanding support network, social media and public communications we intend to shine the spotlight not only on the problem but the solution to create permanent housing for US veterans.
The current bottleneck is qualified, affordable permanent housing. Mighty Hero Homes is the first non-government organization (NGO), dedicated exclusively to providing scalable, permanent housing for homeless veterans. We agree with VA leadership that the only viable solution for eradicating veteran homelessness by the end of this decade is to provide permanent homes for our heroes. Housing stock is low and home costs are high. Requirements to secure permanent housing often exceed the capacity of someone who is looking for their next meal. Through supportive HUD, VA, and Public Housing Authority (PHA) services, moving a veteran into their own permanent home will stop this vicious cycle.
It is time for a paradigm shift in our approach and activity. For the first time, have created a master plan to eliminate the problem. Mighty Hero Homes has set out to create over 450 Bases throughout the United States by 2031 to house each and every veteran currently living on the streets, in tent cities or in other environments not intended for human refuge.
Each Base will consist of eighty-four (84) CorpSection® Building Systems (tiny homes, kit homes and modular homes reimagined) Mighty Hero Homes which are 324 square feet (468 square feet including the covered porch) in size, providing over 37,000 permanent addresses. A number of two bedroom Family Homes (648 square feet each) will also be resident on each base. Each eligible veteran will have an affordable option to purchase, lease-to-own, or simply lease their Mighty Hero Home through project-based HUD-VASH vouchers, NGO gifts, personal lease agreements, or traditional sale agreements. Each Base will provide an onsite Community Center which will house a Training & Career Center, a Health Services Center, a Commissary, a Workout Area, etc.. The Health Services Center will allow all Base residents and local veterans to receive efficient and affordable medical, emotional, mental health, and rehabilitative care through mobile VA medical staff personnel or under contract with an approved private provider.
Adequate ADA compliant and modified Mighty Hero Homes (designed for families and/or single parents) will be available on each Base. An emergency Mighty Hero Homes will also be available at each Base, provided by The Mighty Hero Home Foundation, for urgent and hardship cases.
To meet the need, mass construction of modular homes in a factory environment is required. We will stand in this gap, dedicating ALL output to homeless veterans via our patented design. Our plan compliments the VA’s new five-year plan and the USICH “House America” initiative. (Current modular options are either unaffordable or unavailable due to the tens of thousands on back order.)
The primary purpose and mission of Mighty Hero Homes is to provide affordable, permanent homes for ALL United States veterans. In the initial stages of concept development, success was defined as providing all homeless veterans a safe place to live independently where they can age-in-place. Through years of research, interviews, consultation, and identification of our true passion, we have concluded that putting a veteran in a home is just the start. The ultimate benefit of relentlessly pursuing development of over 37,000 Mighty Hero Homes will be to unleash the incredible talent, the experiential knowledge, and the value our veterans possess into the communities where Bases are built. We are convinced that countless lives will be touched, and generational change will occur through the interactions of Base residents and the local citizens where Might Hero Homes Bases are built.
