A Call to Arms for Veteran Craftsmen – Your Skills Can End Veteran Homelessness.
Brothers (and Sisters),
You already did the hardest job this country ever asked of any man: you stood the watch, you carried the load, you came home with calluses that never go away and skills most civilians will never understand.
Now there’s one more mission, and it’s ours alone to finish.
NoHomelessVets.org has a complex near Sidney Nebraska where we are remodeling units and selling them to Veterans at the lowest prices in America—often 40-60% below market.
Every nail driven, every wire pulled, every pipe soldered goes straight into a home that will belong to a fellow Veteran who thought he’d never own again.
We Need Old-School Tradesmen
The kind who can smell a bad joint from across the room. The kind who taught half the guys on their last job site how to actually work.
Specifically:
Plumbers
Who can still sweat copper in their sleep
Electricians
Who learned on 110/220 panels that would scare kids today
Framers
Who swing a hammer like it owes them money
Finish Carpenters
Who make oak look proud
Hardcore Cleaners
Who leave a unit so spotless it looks brand-new
Handymen
Who can fix damn near anything with a Leatherman and curse words
What You Get
In exchange for 10–20 hours a week of solid work, you live rent-free in one of our units.
- You sleep warm.
- You work with men who have your back like your old platoon.
- This isn't charity. This is a fighting position.
We’re not asking for handouts; we’re asking for the same hands that rebuilt bases in Iraq and Afghanistan to rebuild homes here.
When we’re done, another Vet—maybe one who’s living in his truck right now—gets keys handed to him for less than most people pay for a new Camry.
That’s a win you can drive past for the rest of your life and say, “I built that.”
Who We're Looking For
- You're a Veteran
- Over 45
- Still swing a hammer like you mean it
- Want to finish your years doing something that actually matters
- - We save spots for the men who built this country the first time.
Time to Do It Again
“Still ready. Still able.
Let’s go to work.”
