​

House in the Woods made its way through its initial 5-Year Goals and Vision Plan and navigated through its exciting, but challenging, Idea and Start-Up phases by focusing on creating immediate programs that would reach veterans and by networking with individuals and businesses who understood the need.  

In 2014, it began encouraging its Board and staff to look towards the possibilities of the future as they transitioned into their Growth Stage, a stage in which nonprofit mission and programs have taken hold in the marketplace, but where service demand exceeds current structural and resource capabilities.

In May of 2014, Paul & Dee House donated 4 acres of land and the Haynes family donated ½ acre of land on the Skunk Hill Road in Lee, Maine.  This land serves as the ground for the new "Home" for HITW, an 80’ X 90’  square foot lodge, office, and storage complex that will accommodate up to 24 program participants and HITW staff.  

We are now in the final stages of construction on our "Home", but need continued support in order to meet the future demands of our facility, which will help us better serve our nation's veterans.
