Peter Kaye speaks with Andy Pujol, Founder of Building Homes for Heroes, serving New York City, Long Island, and beyond, providing mortgage-free, accessible housing to injured veterans, Gold Star families, and first responders. Pujol shares how the organization’s mission grew from the rubble of 9/11 into a national effort spanning nearly 40 states, along with future plans to expand housing and holistic support services. He discusses the programs Building Homes for Heroes provides, including custom-built and renovated homes, emergency financial assistance, wellness support, and family-centered resources. Pujol recounts building a fully accessible home—complete with a wheelchair ramp into a swimming pool—for a paralyzed Special Forces veteran, a powerful reminder of dignity restored through service.
