The Company

High Hero’s Foundation was founded in 2020 by Ryan and Sarah Henderson. The company has extensive experience with all forms of residential construction including single-family custom homes, mixed-use projects, historic preservation and multi-unit condominiums/hotels. HHF has a consistent track record of successfully executing complex projects and collaborating with our designated recipients and design teams. Ryan and Sarah have talked a lot about why High Hero’s Foundation has been and is so important to them and their future. They both know and understand that High Hero’s Foundation is God’s plan. It is their way of serving. Blending their passion of building, with their passion of giving, is a dream very few people get to live out. They feel selfish, even guilty at times, because the personal rewards from this venture out way the rewards a services member will receive, or so it seems.

The Team

We currently have a team of dedicated individuals and numerous dedicated vendors including project managers, superintendents, foremen, estimators/project administrators, staff accountants, architect and management.

Communication

We view communication as the most critical aspect of a successful project and use construction management software, an ideal platform for managing the job and all correspondence.

Subcontracting

Our significant experience gives us a firm grasp of unit prices in the region, and given the volume of work we provide, subcontractors provide us with their best pricing and base their business around our projects.

Cost Control

We understand unit pricing in the region and apply that knowledge to the project’s quantities, so the costs of the project are clear.

Risk Mitigation

We are experts in compliance with or implementing state and federal codes, city and state permits, ADA regulations (for the disabled), subcontractor agreements, OSHA compliance (our goal is to work with OSHA when we start to make sure we are in line with their rules and regulations).

Quality Control

We conduct daily inspections and document every aspect of what we build in real-time. Our subcontractors provide clear scopes of work and an exhibit that articulates industry standards.

Closeout

We provide a detailed Closeout Manual that contains warranties, manuals, maintenance requirements, and photos and videos of key aspects including rough in, waterproofing details, and assemblies.

The Founders

The Henderson’s have been honored to form deep connections with their clients through their construction business. While the Henderson’s have always embraced a “pay it forward” attitude in their personal lives, providing a little help for people in need in whatever ways they can, they were inspired to do even more. This desire to help our heroes has continued to grow, and, in 2020, the Henderson’s formed the High Hero’s Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing new homes for Montana heroes and their families.

High Hero’s started with the goal of gifting a single home to a single veteran, but this vision quickly grew to a goal to gift up to 25 homes in the next five years to our injured veterans, first responders, and medical front line workers living in Montana.

High Hero’s Foundation builds homes and provides them at no cost and mortgage-free to Montana men and women who have selflessly served our country and our communities. Our service is given in honor of the service these heroes provide. We’re not just building homes. We’re rebuilding lives. By gifting mortgage-free homes that meet the needs of the men and women who have selflessly served our country, High Hero’s can make home ownership a reality for those who may otherwise be unable to reach this goal. Each home helps ease a family’s financial burden and helps put them on the path to a brighter future.

Thank you for your service to our country. High Hero’s Foundation is proud to announce it has developed a partnership with our bank in an initiative to provide homes to wounded veterans and first responders throughout Montana. Our partnership will provide homes to High Hero’s Foundation who then identifies and selects families of severely wounded veterans across the United States to receive the homes. High Hero’s Foundation hopes to deliver a minimum of 2 homes to recipients each year through this initiative. The homes are for veterans/first responders who were severely wounded or those who have been left with unique circumstances due to their injuries received while serving our country. Must be a resident of Montana, or the surrounding state in which you applied.

Please read the following information carefully before submitting your application.

Qualifying Criteria:

Have you been, or will you be, honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces, with documentation of need?
You have honorably served our communities (fire, police, ER, etc.), with documentation of need?

General Information:

1. Homes are awarded to veterans/first responders who have been injured in the line of duty. Injury includes mental and physical. Submitting an application does not mean you will receive a home. Please understand there are far more applicants than there are available funds. While we will do everything we can to help as many designated recipients as possible, we will not be able to help everyone who applies.
2. Once you submit your application and all necessary supporting documents, you do not need to do anything else. Due to the large volume of applications received, we will only contact you if we should need any additional information or if you have been selected to be interviewed.
3. If you wish to update your application and cannot do so online, please email any updates to applications@highheros.org. You will not receive a response unless more information is needed.
4. Home decisions are made on an individual basis. Each case is unique, and you should not rely on the information or process of another recipient or candidate for future outcome.

The way the program works:

1. High Hero’s Foundation will be dedicated to building custom homes based on each individual’s specific disability through information provided from sources (VA and or Medical Records). High Hero’s will work one on one with the individual to achieve optimum build and performance out of each home built to suite the intended veteran or first responders needs.
2. High Hero’s Foundation has examples of model homes. Click here to view the examples. Please number your interest from 1 to 4 including reasons for your like or dislike to that particular home. We want to understand your needs in a home.
3. Applications will be considered for new home builds in a limited circumstance.

What you will need to apply:

1. The application must be completely filled out. Please read every question and answer them fully and to the best of your ability. Do not summarize. Please use full legal names and relationships.
2. Photo release waiver and Information Release waiver, both filled out, signed and uploaded (Provided in application)
3. Photos to help tell your story (e.g., before injury, during recovery, after recovery, family photos, military photos, etc.) The more the better.
4. Two (2) Letters of Recommendation (a minimum of 1 must be from a Case Worker or Veteran Advocate). Letters must be on letterhead and signed.
5. DD Form 214, or related form for first responders (if unavailable, please upload a word document detailing your specific situation and when approximately you plan on being discharged)
