WHO WE ARE

Established in 2011, the USA Homeownership Foundation, Inc. (DBA VAREP), is a 501(c)3, dedicated to improving the lives of veterans through education, housing, economic development, and philanthropy. Note: We were established in 2011 as a California corporation and, once we received our federal 501(c)3 tax-exempt IRS status on November 15, 2012, we started operating as a national nonprofit.
In December 2019, we incorporated our “Doing Business Name” known as “Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals” (VAREP) as an official 501(c)19, non-chartered Veterans Service Organization (VSO).
A dedicated Veteran Service Organization (VSO) working alongside a Housing and Economic Organization allows a national footprint and increased resources in supporting veterans with their needs.
Our economic development programs help transitioning military and veterans including job training and placement assistance and assists veteran’s standup their own up businesses through community mentorship partnerships.
Our grass roots advocacy efforts on key issues such as decreasing veteran homelessness, increasing affordable veteran housing, increasing suicide prevention training, and increasing veteran wellness programs are essential for all of America.
