The Story Behind Homes for Heroes

The program was started in 2001 following the 9/11 tragedy where so many brave Americans fought bravely to keep everyone safe. Originally, the program was designed for the “heroes” of the event like law enforcement officials, fire fighters and first responders. A group of business owners in the state of Minnesota formed a network to establish savings in the aftermath to assist those heroes who put their life on the line in many ways. The program, over the years, has been altered to include those people in communities across America who provide services that help to keep the rest of us safe.
