National Mall Home Build
September 27 through October 5, 2026
Description
For seven days, a fully accessible modular home will be assembled from the ground up in the heart of our nation's capital. Every wall, every roof panel, and every finishing touch will happen in full public view, giving visitors a unique opportunity to witness what it looks like when a community comes together to serve those who served.
Whether you stop by for an hour or follow the entire build, you'll see more than construction. You'll see lives being changed through safe, accessible housing and a shared commitment to ensuring every veteran has a place to call home.
