Housing stability for wounded veterans

Service earned respect.
Home restores possibility.

We acquire and renew homes to create affordable, dignified housing pathways for wounded veterans and their families.

01

More than a roof. A stable home creates room to heal, reconnect, and plan what comes next.

01 / OUR MISSION

A practical path from uncertainty to lasting stability.

Dozer VA Housing Foundation exists to expand access to safe, affordable homes for wounded veterans and their families. We bring together housing, rehabilitation, and community support so every placement can become a genuine new beginning.

Our model focuses on acquiring overlooked or distressed properties, restoring them responsibly, and placing them back into service through housing options designed around real family needs.

02 / OUR FOUNDERS

A family legacy of service.

Dozer VA Housing Foundation was founded by Jim and Sylvia Falko and named for Sylvia Dozer. Its mission grows from a lifetime of service to veterans, medicine, and community.
