Building Homes, Rebuilding Lives | Homes For Our Troops | Built By Insights

On today’s episode of Built By Insights, Matt Krueger sits down with Bill Ivey, Executive Director of Homes For Our Troops which is an organization that builds specially adapted, custom homes for post-9/11 veterans who were severely injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, homes designed beyond ADA standards, which restore independence, dignity, and long-term stability for these veterans at no cost to them.Bill Ivy shares his 31-year journey in the U.S. Army, his transition into serving wounded veterans after retirement, and why the mission of Homes For Our Troops continues to drive him more than a decade later. Matt and Bill dive deep into why these homes are single-story, how more than 40 adaptive features are integrated into every build, and why elements like roll-under kitchens, and accessible bathrooms are necessities for a healthy life.The conversation also highlights Built By Krueger’s completion of their fourth Homes For Our Troops home, the challenges of building in places like Oak Creek, Colorado, and why Homes For Our Troops remains connected to each veteran long after the keys are handed over.If this episode speaks to you, I encourage you to explore the work Homes For Our Troops is doing and consider supporting their mission: Learn More: hfotusa.org/missionDonate: hfotusa.orgSee more of Matt's Builds: bykrueger.com
