ABOUT VAREP LOCAL OUTREACH EVENTS & FUNDRAISERS

VETERANS HOUSING SUMMIT Our summits have one goal in mind: Educating the military and veteran communities. Topics include, but are not limited to, home loan pre-approvals, down payment assistance, and the VA home loan program. After the main presentation, financial and mortgage counseling takes place and Certificate of Eligibility (COE) are printed during the Housing Services Expo. We are always in need of sponsorship from local housing service companies to help educate the veteran communities.

STARS & STRIPES CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT Love to play golf? Whether you’re a beginner or pro, we welcome all golfers to participate. The goal of our golf tournaments is to raise money for VAREP Local Chapters while having a good time. Proceeds will help host military and veteran financial literacy, homeownership, and job fair community outreach events as well as raise money for military and veteran Housing Down-Payment Assistance and closing costs grants given to qualified military and veteran families.

“ As a housing non-profit for vets, by vets, our success is measured not by a balance sheet for shareholders, but by how many lives we can improve through our programs and services. Our proactive stance of providing financial-literacy education and advocating homeownership may not end the epidemic of homelessness among the veteran community, but can prevent it from happening in the future, one veteran at a time.”

- Son Nguyen, VAREP National President and Founder
