Unique and complex challenges
Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona (Habitat) is honored to partner with U.S. Military Veterans and families of veterans in Maricopa and portions of Pinal County. We provide a pathway to home ownership and assist current veteran homeowners with essential repairs or modifications to their existing residences.
Veterans face unique and complex challenges as they transition from military to civilian life, including securing services such as housing, employment, education, and healthcare. Our programs are designed to meet these needs and ensure veterans receive the support necessary for a successful transition and stable home environment.
- Pathway to Home Ownership
- Veteran Homeowner Assistance
- Help with Much Needed Repairs
- Habitat's Construction Training Program
We’re excited to offer a pre-apprenticeship program specifically for veterans interested in entering the trades or construction field. This initiative provides valuable skills training and opens the door to promising career opportunities. Learn more at habitatcaz.org/ctp

In 2020, a partnership began that would have significant impact on veterans living in the Phoenix Metro area. Maricopa County had been experiencing significantly rising housing costs, displacing hardworking households in record numbers. The Central Arizona affiliate and an entrepreneurial philanthropist team saw an opportunity to respond to the growing need. As a result, Habitat and the Milanovich Trust launched a multi-year initiative to customize its existing services to serve vulnerable veterans in Maricopa County. The results have been beyond expectations.
Veterans interested in homeownership must meet all Habitat for Humanity qualifications (including income guidelines). Applicants must be able to demonstrate their veteran status from the United States Military.
Habitat also offers affordable home repairs to their existing residence. Services can include fixing a leaking roof, replacing an air conditioner, or replacing windows for new energy- efficient ones. Habitat addresses health and safety issues such as replacing water heaters, building ramps and converting tubs to showers and adding grab bars.
Veterans in need of affordable home repairs, or may be in need of a new, decent place to call home are encouraged to contact Habitat at 602-268-9022 and ask to speak with Family Services or fill out the contact form below.
