Take the Veterans Housing Needs Survey
|
“Habitat for Heroes” wants to expand housing opportunities for veterans. Unfortunately, little information exists regarding local veteran housing needs. Therefore, we decided to create a survey to help assess local need and guide our future goals. We need to learn more to do more.
If you are a veteran, help us by completing the Veteran Housing Needs Survey. Participants can enter to win one of thee $50 VISA gift cards! |
