Project H.E.R.O.Making Homes Accessible for Disabled War Veterans

What is Project H.E.R.O.?

Project H.E.R.O. (Homes Eliminated of Restrictions and Obstacles) is an innovative program with the goal to improve the lives of disabled veterans across the United States by combining the volunteer spirit and expertise of the International Code Council (ICC) and International Code Council Foundation (ICCF) with the home rehabilitation expertise of Rebuilding Together and its dedicated Veterans Services Department..

ICCF created the original H.E.R.O. initiative in 2006. The new program approach began on September 15, 2008 with Rebuilding Together.  Rebuilding Together is a 20 year old, national nonprofit with a network of nearly 225 affiliates across the United States with the mission to preserve affordable housing by bringing volunteers and communities together to rehabilitate the homes of low-income homeowners.
