Travis Mills, a veteran who lost his limbs serving in Afghanistan, received a new handicap-accessible home, reported Military Times. 

The house, which takes into account Mills' needs for his prosthetic limbs, comes courtesy of Building for America's Bravest. The organization, which is a subsidiary of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, raises money to provide injured servicemembers with custom "smart houses" in their life after service, or homes with automated features that can be controlled via iPad. The Stephen Siller Foundation was created in memory of a firefighter who died saving civilians on Sept. 11, 2001. Ten years later, BFAB was created to give a comfortable residence to Army Specialist Brendan Marrocco, the first quadruple amputee to survive. 

Mills sustained his injuries in 2012, when during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan he survived an IED attack, noted Military Times. 

According to the source, Mills' home comes equipped with features like extra-wide hallways, elevators and special cabinets with motion sensors. The home is located in the town of Manchester, Maine. The source reported that the Mills family recently began their own nonprofit organization, the Travis Mills Organization. The foundation is currently working toward building a National Veterans Family Center in Maine.
