Frequently asked questions
Here are the most common questions veterans and their families ask about Homefront Veterans Living. We aim for transparency and clarity to ensure you have all the information you need about our shared housing program in Decatur, Georgia.
What is homefront veterans living?
Homefront Veterans Living is a Georgia‑based housing program that provides clean, furnished, shared homes specifically for U.S. military veterans. We offer separate houses for men and women veterans in a structured, respectful environment designed to be safe, stable, and supportive in Decatur, Georgia.
What kind of housing do you offer?
We offer shared homes where veterans have their own bed (and in some cases their own room or a shared room) in a fully furnished house with shared common areas like a kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. Our homes are not shelters or motels—they are structured, veteran‑only homes with clear rules and expectations.
Who can apply to live in a homefront veterans living home?
Our housing is for U.S. military veterans who:
• Can live safely in a shared home with other adults
• Are willing to follow house rules and respect others
• Have or are working toward some form of income or benefits
• Do not need a hospital, detox, or medical facility level of care
We may ask for basic proof of service (such as a DD‑214 or VA ID).
Are your homes sober living, or can people use alcohol or drugs?
Our homes are sober, drug‑free environments. Residents must agree not to use illegal drugs, misuse medications, or be under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the home. We are not a detox or treatment facility, so anyone needing that level of help will be referred to appropriate services first.
What are the basic house rules?
Each home has written house rules, but in general residents can expect:
• No violence, threats, or illegal activity
• No smoking inside the home (smoking only in designated outdoor areas, if allowed)
• Respect for others’ space, privacy, and property
• Quiet hours and limits on noise, especially at night
• Keeping common areas clean and doing assigned chores
• Following guest/visitor policies and any curfew or check‑in rules
These rules are in place to keep the home safe, calm, and comfortable for everyone.
What's it like to live in one of your shared homes, and what can a veteran expect?
Living in one of Homefront Veterans Living’s shared homes means having a clean, furnished, and stable place to live with other veterans in a structured, respectful environment. A veteran can expect clear house rules—like no violence or threats, no illegal activity, no smoking inside, quiet hours, and shared responsibilities for chores and cleanliness—so the home stays calm and predictable instead of chaotic. Daily life feels like living in a real house, not a shelter: you have your own bed (and sometimes your own or a shared room), access to common areas like the kitchen and living room, and a routine that makes it easier to focus on work, appointments, and personal goals. Because everyone in the home is a veteran, there’s a built‑in level of understanding and camaraderie, while still respecting each person’s space and privacy, creating a supportive community where you can reset and move forward.
How do you ensure a safe, stable, and supportive environment for veterans in your homes?
We ensure a safe, stable, and supportive environment through several key factors. Our homes are veteran-only, structured with clear house rules that prohibit violence, threats, and illegal activity, and enforce quiet hours. We provide separate houses for men and women. The shared living model fosters camaraderie and mutual respect among residents. Additionally, by maintaining clean, furnished homes with basic utilities included, we remove common stressors, allowing veterans to focus on their well-being and personal goals. Regular oversight and enforcement of rules ensure a predictable and calm living situation.
How much does it cost to live in one of your homes? What is included?
We charge a monthly program fee that helps cover housing, furnishings, and basic utilities. For our shared homes with up to six veterans, monthly fees will typically range from about $850 to $950 per month per resident, depending on the specific home and room setup. This amount generally includes a furnished bed or room, use of shared common areas, and basic utilities (electric, water, trash, and often internet). We will clearly explain your exact monthly amount, what is included, and when payments are due before move-in, and we’ll talk with you about your income or benefits to make sure our housing is a realistic fit.
How do i apply to live in one of your homes?
The first step is to complete the short application form on our How to Apply page. You’ll share basic information about yourself, your veteran status, your current situation, and what you’re looking for in housing. After you submit the form, we’ll review it and contact you about next steps.
What happens after i apply?
After you apply:
We review your application to see if you meet basic requirements and may be a good fit.
We contact you by phone, text, or email to ask a few follow‑up questions and explain how our homes work.
If it looks like a match and we have (or expect) an opening, we arrange a more detailed conversation and/or visit and go over house rules, expectations, and fees.
If both sides agree to move forward, we complete the housing or program agreement and confirm your move‑in date and details.
We try to be clear, honest, and respectful at every step.
How long can i stay?
Do you help with jobs, benefits, or other services?
Length of stay can vary depending on your goals, behavior, and ability to follow house rules and pay your fees. Our goal is to give you stable housing while you work toward more independence—whether that takes a few months or longer. We’ll discuss expectations and any time frames as part of your intake.
We are a housing program, not a clinic or job agency, but we do our best to connect veterans with local resources, such as:
• VA benefits and services
• Employment and training programs
• Community support and counseling resources
We believe stable housing is the base, and we encourage residents to use that stability to work on income, health, and long‑term plans.
Can family members or non‑veterans live in the homes?
Our homes are designed for veterans only. In general, family members and non‑veterans cannot live in the homes, though we may allow approved guests during certain hours under our guest policy. The exact guest rules will be explained for your specific home.
Where are your homes located?
We are based in Decatur, Georgia, and are working toward operating multiple homes—separate houses for men and women. Specific addresses are shared with accepted applicants for privacy and safety reasons, but we will always let you know the general area and details during the application process.
What makes homefront veterans living different from other housing options?
We offer veteran‑only, structured shared homes with clear rules and expectations, separate homes for men and women, and a focus on safety, respect, and stability. You’re not just renting a room from a stranger—you’re living in a home built around veterans, with people who “get it,” so you can actually reset and move forward instead of just getting by.
