IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDE A GROWING AMOUNT OF SUPPORT SERVICES TO HELP THEM BUILD BETTER AND BRIGHTER LIVES AND REACH NEW HEIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE NEVER IMAGINED BEFORE. THESE MORTGAGE-FREE HOMES NOT ONLY HELP TO REMOVE THE FAMILY'S FINANCIAL BURDEN, BUT THEY ALSO HELP TO RESTORE THE INDIVIDUAL'S FREEDOM AND ENABLE THE VETERAN TO LEAD A MORE INDEPENDENT AND PRODUCTIVE CIVILIAN LIFE. THESE HOMES ARE CONSTRUCTED, CUSTOMIZED AND BEAUTIFIED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF PHYSICALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY DISABLED VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, TO HELP IMPROVE THEIR DAY-TO-DAY QUALITY OF LIFE AND LEAD TO A HOPEFUL AND PROMISING FUTURE AHEAD. ON AVERAGE, THE ORGANIZATION REACHED THE EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT OF MORE THAN ONE HOME EVERY 11 DAYS FOR A THIRTEENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR IN 2025. THE ORGANIZATION PLANS TO REACH 50+500+5000 IN 2026: A RECORD 50 HOMES IN 2026, AND NEARLY ONE PER WEEK, INCLUDING OUR MILESTONE 500TH HOME BY CHRISTMAS DAY, WHILE SUPPORTING 5,000 HEROES IN ONE YEAR ALONE. WE'VE FOUND THAT THE GIFT OF A MORTGAGE-FREE HOME PROVIDES PERMANENT STABILITY AND A LIFE-CHANGING FOUNDATION FOR THE VETERAN TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS THAT THEY MIGHT NEVER HAVE IMAGINED FOLLOWING THEIR INJURIES, AND SETS THEM ON A PATH TOWARDS IMPROVING THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELLNESS ON A LIFELONG ROAD TO RECOVERY AND HAPPINESS. AS WELL, IT'S A GENERATIONAL GIFT THAT ALLOWS THE CHILDREN OF THE FAMILIES TO CREATE STABILITY IN THEIR LIFE AND ONE DAY INHERIT THE HOME, THAT CAN FURTHER IMPROVE THEIR LIVES AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FUTURE GENERATIONS AHEAD. IT'S TRULY AN HONOR FOR US TO SERVE THE AMAZING MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE COURAGEOUSLY SERVED AND SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR ALL OF US, WHILE SERVING OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY WITH HONOR. 1349172 1105003 PHYSICAL HEALTH, MENTAL AND FINANCIAL WELLNESS: BUILDING HOMES FOR HEROES GOES WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SUPPORT OUR VETERANS AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS BY PROVIDING A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS FOR FAMILY CONNECTIVITY, HOPE AND HEALING, CAMARADERIE, COMMUNICATION AND PROMISE TOWARDS THEIR PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELL-BEING. ONE MAJOR ASPECT OF THIS IN 2025 WAS OUR GROWING PROGRAMS TO HELP WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH AND MENTAL WELLNESS. RANGING FROM TRADITIONAL TO INNOVATIVE SUPPORT, WE WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT MORE THAN 5,000 HEROES IN 2025 ALONE. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE SPONSORED HUNDREDS OF WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT TRAINED VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS WITH ESSENTIAL SKILLS THAT AIM TO IMPROVE THEIR EVERYDAY WELL-BEING, THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND EVERYDAY HEALTH, THEIR PHYSICAL FITNESS, AND THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. WE HAVE SUPPORTED VETERANS CLIMBING THE WORLD'S TALLEST MOUNTAINS, AND WINNING MEDALS IN THE WARRIOR GAMES, INVICTUS GAMES AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS. ONE OF OUR BIGGEST EVENTS WE HOSTED IN 2025 WAS OUR 7TH TEAM BUILDING EVENT, BRINGING TOGETHER HUNDREDS OF OUR VETERAN HOME RECIPIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS FOR FOUR DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS OF FAMILY FUN, FRIENDLY COMPETITION, CONNECTIVITY, NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND SPIRITED CAMARADERIE, WHILE CREATING A LASTING SENSE OF HEALING WELL BEYOND THE EVENT ITSELF. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY HELPFUL TOWARDS HELPING VETERANS REUNITE AND REGAIN THEIR MILITARY CAMARADERIE WITH THEIR FELLOW SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN AND HELPS THEM UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFINED BY THEIR INJURIES, BUT HOW THEY CAN OVERCOME THEM. WITH MORE SUPPORT, WE HOPE TO FURTHER DEVELOP THIS AMAZING PROGRAM ON A NATIONAL SCALE. WITH RECENT REPORTS INDICATING UP TO 23 VETERAN SUICIDES A DAY, WE RECOGNIZE JUST HOW VITAL THESE PROGRAMS ARE. THEY NOT ONLY SUPPORT OUR VETERANS NOW BUT ALSO HELP PAVE THE WAY FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE AHEAD FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. 356921 277597 ATHLETICS + ACADEMICS, EMERGENCY FUNDING AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT PROGRAMS: OUR GOAL IS TO ALWAYS EMPOWER OUR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, SO THEY SURVIVE AND THRIVE AHEAD. OUR EMERGENCY FUNDING PROGRAM ENABLES US TO SUPPORT VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS THROUGH DIFFICULT PERIODS AND SUDDEN, LIFE-ALTERING MOMENTS. THESE MOMENTS CAN INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THEIR STRUGGLES, AN ILLNESS, THE LOSS OF A JOB, OR A MAJOR REPAIR NEEDED BY DISASTROUS WEATHER EVENTS SUCH AS HURRICANES, TORNADOES AND FLOODING. THIS PROGRAM HELPS PREVENT LIFE-ALTERING FORECLOSURES AND THE DEVASTATING RISK OF HOMELESSNESS FOR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING IMMEDIATE SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR STANDING ON THE BRINK OF IT. ANOTHER MAJOR WAY WE HELP VETERANS IMPROVE THEIR FINANCIAL WELL-BEING IS BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL GUIDANCE TO MAINTAIN HOME EXPENSES AND MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES, AND TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL FUTURE AHEAD. TO ACHIEVE THAT END, WE OFFER PARTNERSHIPS WITH CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PROFESSIONALS TO ASSIST THEM THROUGH THEIR FINANCES AND HELP VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOCUS ON LIVING A PROMISING AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE, WHILE ALSO LEARNING ABOUT INVESTING, THE BENEFITS OF COMPOUND INTEREST, AND SAVING FOR THE FUTURE. A MAJOR FOCUS OF THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT PROGRAM IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF MINIMIZING OR ELIMINATING DEBT ENTIRELY, AND THE FREEDOM IT PROVIDES TO LIVE AN EVER MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE AHEAD. BUILDING HOMES FOR HEROES IS ALSO SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR DREAMS IN ATHLETICS AND REPRESENTING THE USA ONCE AGAIN IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, PLUS THEIR GOALS AND WISHES WITH ACADEMICS FOLLOWING THEIR SERVICE. MANY OF OUR VETERANS GO ON TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION WITH OUR ORGANIZATION'S SUPPORT. THESE OPPORTUNITIES HELP RESTORE CONFIDENCE, PROVIDE RENEWED PURPOSE, AND HELP VETERANS REDISCOVER A SENSE OF FULFILLMENT BEYOND THEIR SERVICE. ALL THESE PROGRAMS ARE A LARGE PART OF OUR MISSION TO HELP OUR VETERANS BUILD BETTER AND BRIGHTER LIVES WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND THE GIFTING OF A HOME. 17181329 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 63 0 1 19 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DC FL IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NJ NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN TX VA WV GA HI LA NH NV WA WI X X X THE ORGANIZATION 5166849220 4584 AUSTIN BLVD ISLAND PARK NY 11558 ANDREW PUJOL CEO & CHAIRMAN OF THE BOAR 50.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY VESEY DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 178175 0 18775 ANTHONY SIGILLITO DIRECTOR/TREASURER 20.00 X X 0 0 0 GEORGE SHERMAN DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES CUMMINGS DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MADISON DIRECTOR 6.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH MCFARLAND DIRECTOR 8.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE BRODERICK DIRECTOR 4.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK GAMBARO DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 TYLER MARK DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 VINCENT P DIFRONZO DIRECTOR 6.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON JUDD DIRECTOR 6.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY RENFRO JOINED DECEMBER 2025 DIRECTOR 0.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY MAURO CFO 40.00 X 142652 0 22848 DAVID WEINGRAD SECRETARY 40.00 X 0 0 0 320827 0 41623 2 0 1 0 PULTA HOME COMPANY 3350 PEACHTREE ROAD NE SUITE 1500 ATLANTA GA 30326 CONSTRUCTION 652559 ALFONSI CONSTRUCTION LLC 14851 STATE ROAD 52 HUDSON FL 34669 CONSTRUCTION 537643 O2X HUMAN PERFORMANCE LLC 1 MILL WHARF PLAZA UNIT S12 SCITUATE MA 02066 TRAINING AND EDUCATION 500000 PROBUILT CONSTRUCTION LLC 115 S COLONY STREET WALLINGFORD CT 06492 CONSTRUCTION 437798 FLYING PEANUT PRODUCTION INC 2111 E CONCORD STREET ORLANDO FL 32803 MEDIA PRODUCTION 418004 5 349873 274969 19733826 8078578 20358668 733062 733062 7474 6168 1306 1306 1306 432821 349873 432821 0 21093036 0 0 734368 13922142 13922142 320827 250245 25666 44916 1195472 988849 75503 131120 146269 114090 11701 20478 117633 91708 10673 15252 117203 92302 24901 498554 433687 9021 55846 60364 39343 15377 5644 102190 69143 8722 24325 108859 83131 14165 11563 334254 305856 8551 19847 8711 7491 610 610 118628 115194 1826 1608 VETERAN HIGHLIGHT AND P 418004 342763 4180 71061 VETERAN AMBASSADOR PROG 177600 177600 MEALS 78104 72316 2273 3515 OUTSIDE EVENT SUPPORT 51207 25091 26116 113313 50378 31404 31531 17889334 17181329 244573 463432 2759575 726709 220701 11142599 169120 373469 20582 0 165314 146221 27804 19093 14063914 7071184 3594459 4794693 20856155 24127747 618270 362876 21205 297794 639475 660670 X 16308586 18211367 3908094 5255710 20216680 23467077 20856155 24127747 3203702 46695 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 13871107 10700487 13604703 19675955 20007047 77859299 13871107 10700487 13604703 19675955 20007047 77859299 18222196 59637103 3076 16082 221068 453402 733062 1426690 79285989 0.75220 0.95480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 103803 92494 11309 46927 39143 7784 14584 14584 0 19093 PROPERTY HELD FOR TRANSFER 4465210 OTHER ASSETS 36269 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 293214 4794693 RIGHT OF USE LEASE LIABILITY 297794 297794 X 21678264 46695 538533 585228 21093036 0 21093036 18427867 538533 538533 17889334 0 17889334 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION EVALUATED ITS ACTIVITIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR 2025 AND 2024.
