DEAR FRIENDS , VETERANS AND VETERAN SUPPORTERS: Many industry professionals would like to meet the real estate needs of service members, veterans, and their families. However, until now no organization existed that could make it happen. The USA Homeownership Foundation, Inc., DBA VAREP was founded to fill the void. We are dedicated to increasing sustainable homeownership and economic development for the active military and veteran communities. We accomplish our mission through a Five Point Plan: (1) Homeownership Advocacy; (2) Community Outreach; (3) Professional Membership; (4) Veteran Job Creation; (5) Affordable Veteran Housing. All Five Points are equally important; however, Point #3 - Professional Membership, affords us the “boots on the ground” and gives us a national footprint to better serve military and veteran housing needs. According to studies, culturally diverse homeowners have been hit the hardest in the housing crisis; however, due to their unique circumstances, veteran homeowners have also been severely impacted and need our help. Our online professional membership community provides a place where real estate and financial service professionals can share ideas, get educated, and be empowered to better serve the real estate needs of service members, veterans and their families. Anyone can join regardless if you have served; just believe in and support our mission. I would like to welcome and thank you for taking the time to consider joining me as we embark on a journey dedicated to making the American Dream a reality for those who have served us. Respectfully,

Son Nguyen

President and Founder

Established in 2012, the USA Homeownership Foundation, Inc. DBA Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) community service organization dedicated to increasing sustainable homeownership and economic development for the active military and veteran communities. VAREP and its members represent and work within all sectors of the real estate, housing and financial services industries.

VAREP ACCOMPLISHES ITS MISSION THROUGH A FIVE POINT PLAN:

1. HOMEOWNERSHIP ADVOCACY - Advocate nationally to develop programs that reduce barriers to homeownership facing the military and veteran communities;

2. COMMUNITY OUTREACH - Foster responsible homeownership in the military and veteran communities by providing housing education and counseling services, and through live and online courses on such topics as foreclosure prevention, financial literacy, and understanding credit—pre and post-purchase;

3. PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP - Provide a place where real estate and financial service professionals can share ideas, get educated, and be empowered to better serve the real estate needs of service members, veterans and their families. Non military members are welcome;

support veteran employment, and help implement legislation such as the Vow to Hire Heroes Act, the Health Information Technology Act, the Veterans Benefits Act, the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act, and Executive Order 13360 (promoting federal contracting opportunities for Service Disabled Veteran Owners of Small Business); and
