Our Story: Built on Service, Driven by Purpose


Purple Heart Homes was founded in 2008 by Veterans, for Veterans. Everything we do flows from a promise made between two soldiers.

THE FOUNDING STORY

BORN FROM BROTHERHOOD

Co-founders John Gallina and the late Dale Beatty served together in the National Guard and again during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Both sustained significant injuries and were humbled by their reintegration experiences. 


To build awareness, mobilize communities, and create safe housing solutions for our service-connected disabled veterans of all eras. 

All veterans have a safe place to call home.


To honor those who served by providing housing solutions and employment opportunities to qualified veterans.
