Celebrating Those Who House Veterans

Heading Home has been working closely with regional partners —including service providers, landlords, and property managers — to ensure every veteran in the region has a safe and stable place to call home.

Through these collaborative efforts, the initiative continues to create meaningful housing opportunities for veterans experiencing homelessness.

As part of this effort, you’re invited to join us for the Housing Our Heroes Landlord Appreciation Luncheon on June 4th from 12:00–1:30 p.m. at the Monroe Convention Center in Bloomington. This special event celebrates the landlords and property managers who have gone above and beyond in supporting veteran housing solutions. 

Enjoy a complimentary lunch, connect with fellow housing advocates, and hear powerful stories about the difference your efforts have made.

At the event, we’ll be giving out these awards:

• Landlord Legacy Award: Recognizes a landlord with a long-standing, sustained commitment to housing veterans over many years. This award honors consistent, dedicated partnership—someone who has been in it for the long haul and played a pivotal role over time in housing veterans, often serving as a reliable ally across multiple programs or agencies. 
• Golden Key Award: Celebrates a landlord or property manager who helped veterans overcome significant barriers to secure long-term housing. This award highlights problem-solving, flexibility, and innovation—someone who may be newer to the work or less involved over time but made a major difference by saying “yes” when it mattered most.
• Tenant Choice Award 
  Chosen by veteran tenants, this award honors a landlord who creates a respectful, safe, and welcoming home—going beyond housing to truly support those who served.

Together, we will end veteran homelessness.
