Operation Finally Home

The Association’s charitable partner is Operation Finally Home, an organization that provides custom-built, mortgage-free homes to combat wounded veterans and the widows of the fallen who have sacrificed to defend our country and way of life.

Operation Finally Home was founded in 2005 as a non-partisan/non-profit organization with the mission to provide Americans the ability to honor and thank America’s heroes. Severely wounded and disabled service members return home to confront extreme hardships, from physical and emotional disabilities to financial ruin, joblessness and homelessness. Dismayed by their plight, the Dallas Builders Association is working with Operation Finally Home to address the most pressing need of our returning heroes – a home to call their own!

To date, the Dallas BA and its members have been involved in providing eight veterans and their families a home to call their own and plan to continue this mission with more homes throughout the area.

Ninth Operation Finally Home Project— Now Underway

Operation Finally Home, the  Dallas Builders Association and Garvey Homes, along with the City of Irving and NEC, surprised U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Samasoni Lelea and his family with the news they are receiving a new mortgage-free home during a special groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 30.

This is the ninth home the Dallas BA has been a part of and the third house being constructed in Irving. By council vote, the City of Irving has donated four lots to Operation Finally Home for first responders and U.S. military veterans. Representatives of Operation Finally Home, Garvey Homes, the Dallas BA, NEC and the City of Irving—along with trades, suppliers and members of the community—all joined together to celebrate with the Lelea family.
