Honoring Dorothy Rhone as Director Emeritus
On Thursday, April 30, 2026, our Board of Directors came together to honor Dorothy Rhone as Director Emeritus of Home for Freedom.
Dorothy has been a part of Home for Freedom since the very beginning. At 97 years young, she continues to be a passionate advocate for our mission—promoting our work, assisting in fundraising efforts, and playing an instrumental role in ensuring our supporters are recognized and appreciated.
In her own words, Dorothy shared:
Her dedication, generosity, and unwavering commitment have helped shape Home for Freedom into what it is today. We are deeply grateful for her years of service and honored to recognize her lasting impact in this special way.

Work Continues on Tiny Home #1 and #2!
Exciting progress continues on both Tiny Home #1 and Tiny Home #2 as volunteers and supporters come together to move this mission forward—providing safe, stable housing and a renewed sense of independence for those we serve.
🏡 Tiny Home #1
Volunteers from the Airman Leadership School recently spent time enhancing the property and adding the finishing touches that truly make a house feel like home. Their work included mulching around the flagpole, installing a mailbox, placing the house number, and completing general cleanup and landscaping across the entire lot, including Tiny Home #2.
We are incredibly grateful to these volunteers for helping transform this space into something meaningful and welcoming—not just a structure, but a place of dignity, comfort, and belonging.
🔨 Tiny Home #2
Construction on Tiny Home #2 is moving along steadily. Interior framing is complete, and much of the exterior work has been finished.
Our Board Vice President, Kenny Reynolds, along with dedicated volunteers Tommy Faris, Albert Moreno, and Rudy Hogue, have been working hard to keep the project progressing.
We are also thankful for the skilled professionals stepping in this week—electrician Julian Moss, owner of Moss Electric, and plumber Richard Garza—as we continue moving forward.
Every step of this project reflects the heart of our mission: creating more than just housing, but a foundation for hope, stability, and a fresh start.
We are deeply thankful to everyone who continues to give their time, talent, and support to make these homes—and this mission—possible.

Home for Freedom is proud to announce a major milestone: we’ve completed our very first tiny home—and a local Veteran has already moved in.
This is more than a house. It’s dignity, stability, and a fresh start.

And we’re just getting started. One Veteran. One house. One step closer to freedom.
