Top 10 Best Veterans’ Construction Projects Veteran Owned BusinessesVeteran Owned Business Directory

I am John S. Lewandowski; President/CEO of the Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, also I am 100% disabled veteran with loss of use of lower extremities due to a service connected injury. I like many of you when confronted with my injury didn’t know where to turn and it became almost impossible for me to get around my home, so I had to turn to outside help in this matter. Boy, little did I know how expenses and how time consuming it became; it took over 3 years just to get a contractor that didn’t want to take an arm and a leg for their work. Here is the list of categories that the Veterans Administration will provide grant assistance to our veterans. The categories are as follows: • Debilitating injury such as loss of or loss of use of lower extremities, • Loss of or loss of use of upper extremities (paraplegic and quadriplegic), • Loss of or loss of use of one upper & lower extremities, • Severe burns over greater than 70% of their bodies, • Blindness, • TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), • ALS and many more... I said that there should be an easier way for us veterans to eliminate all this hassle, so I started an agency that can setup a “One Stop Shop” called Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing. Our Board of Director’s is made up of Disabled veterans like ourselves and we have made the work of getting your home either remodeled or a newly accessible and affordable home built to your specifications.

Heroes to Homeless is a non-profit organization. We are a Veterans organization for the sole purpose so the Veteran’s that we house and provide jobs for can receive pay for their work. We purchase homes and fix them up to provide housing for Veteran’s. The companies we use are owned by Veteran’s and have agreed to hire these Veteran’s that come through our program. Though our program is mainly focused towards Veterans some of our services will be open to the public. Heroes to Homeless' MISSION: Helping Our Military Veterans Establish Life Essentials to be Successful and Self-Sustaining Our Mission is to rehabilitate, provide housing and transitional housing for Veterans, Homeless Veterans and Veterans with disabilities. We will actively seek jobs for each Veteran coming through our program and offer training of new skills were we can. Thus showing them they can be an active part in today’s society. We have partnered with several companies who will also provide jobs for any Veteran coming through our program. This Program will help reduce the Veterans Administration’s cost in Homeless grant cost and programs eventually each year.
