Bank partners with Operation Homefront to provide housing

2/21/2012

In an effort to provide 100 homes to wounded warriors, veterans and military families in the coming year, JPMorgan Chase teamed up with Operation Homefront to provide the organization with additional support.

The groups will offer housing by pairing deserving recipients with houses in the bank's inventory. Those who qualify for homes include active duty, guard or reserve soldiers, or those who have been honorably discharged. Furthermore, they cannot currently own a house but must be able to support its cost past the transition period. Operation Homefront is very grateful for the bank's support.

"This is an incredible gift from Chase to our men and women in uniform," said Jim Knotts, the organization's president and CEO. "Chase's imaginative, nation-wide approach to providing quality homes to deserving service members and their families will make a huge difference in how these heroes can make that difficult transition and adjustment into productive civilian lives."

Operation Homefront does much more than provide housing to veterans and military families. The organization also offers everything from financial assistance to emergency home repairs.
