With startup funds from Trinity Health Foundation, Knoxville Habitat for Humanity launched Habitat for Heroes in 2015 to help veterans and veteran families in immediate need of housing achieve homeownership.

In 2017, Knoxville Habitat became an official Veterans Build Affiliate with Habitat for Humanity International. Through this affiliation, Knoxville Habitat became part of a national effort to not only provide affordable homeownership and critical home repair for men and women who have served, but also join a larger voice advocating for the needs of our veterans and their families.

As a Veterans Build Affiliate, we’re committed to seeking more volunteer engagement from veteran groups as well as recruiting veterans for employment, internships and other service opportunities.

Veterans can inquire about Habitat for Heroes by reaching out directly to Jamila Williams at jwilliams@khfh.com or (865) 523-3539 ext. 110 OR Rick Garner, Head of Veteran Services, at rgarner@khfh.com or (865) 523-3539 ext 111.
