Operation FINALLY HOME

The Association’s charitable partner is Operation Finally Home, an organization that provides custom-built, mortgage-free homes to combat wounded veterans and the widows of the fallen who have sacrificed to defend our country and way of life.

Operation Finally Home was founded in 2005 as a non-partisan/non-profit organization with the mission to provide Americans the ability to honor and thank America’s heroes. Severely wounded and disabled service members return home to confront extreme hardships, from physical and emotional disabilities to financial ruin, joblessness and homelessness. Dismayed by their plight, the Dallas Builders Association is working with Operation Finally Home to address the most pressing need of our returning heroes — a home to call their own!

To date, the Dallas BA and its members have been involved in providing nine veterans and their families a home to call their own and plan to continue this mission with more homes throughout the area.

Dallas BA Completes Its Ninth Operation Finally Home Project

Due to the ongoing support from members of the Dallas Builders Association, the City of Irving,  Garvey Homes, NEC Corporation of America and Operation Finally Home, another deserving veteran realized the dream of home ownership last month. Dedication ceremonies were held Nov. 9 for U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Samasoni Lelea and his family.

This is the ninth home the Dallas BA has been a part of and the third house being constructed in Irving. By council vote, the City of Irving has donated four lots to Operation Finally Home for first responders and U.S. military veterans. Thank you to all the vendors, suppliers and trades who liberally donated their materials, time and talent. Full story
