Home is a sanctuary. Having a safe and affordable place to call home is an essential pathway for wellness, dignity, and economic opportunity. It is a great honor for Wells Fargo to serve members of the military and help them achieve sustainable housing. Since 2015, the Wells Fargo Foundation has provided more than $31 million in grants to support sustainable housing and homeownership for veterans through a suite of several programs.

Wells Fargo’s NeighborhoodLIFT^® programs help people achieve homeownership through down payment assistance and homebuyer education. Our collaboration on NeighborhoodLIFT with NeighborWorks America has resulted in helping veterans across the country achieve the dream of homeownership by providing down payment assistance grants. To date, over $7 million in grant assistance has been provided, resulting in more than 525 veterans having purchased a home. In collaboration with the Military Warriors Support Foundation, Wells Fargo donates homes and vehicles to wounded veterans, who also receive financial mentoring.

Since 2012, Wells Fargo has donated more than 400 homes valued at over $60 million to support veterans and their families in all 50 states.
