Freedom Mortgage Corp. has teamed with Habitat for Humanity to support the non-profit’s Veterans Build program, which builds, rehabilitates and repairs homes in partnership with military veterans in need of affordable housing.

This year, Freedom Mortgage will support Habitat's Veterans Build projects in three communities where Freedom Mortgage operates: home improvement projects in Palmyra, N.J., and Jacksonville, Fla., and a full home rehab in Indianapolis.

Freedom Mortgage's Habitat partnership will also support the Mount Laurel, N.J.-based company's recently launched Volunteer Time Off program, that offers its employees paid time working out of the office for approved nonprofit organizations.

"Habitat for Humanity does so much for families in need of decent, affordable housing," said Stanley Middleman, chief executive officer of Freedom Mortgage. "I'm very excited to be working with such an extraordinary organization to help our U.S. military veterans and their families improve their homes and living conditions. This is a great partnership that will continue making the dream of homeownership accessible for so many."
