In the past 5 years this program alone has saved families over $2 million!
This chart shows some significant changes in the program. As you can see, more than halfway through this calendar year we have used less than a third of the rewards points used in This is not by choice but because of the lack of points available to us.
POINTS TICKETS = 100% refundable
CASH TICKETS= NON refundable
The demand for the program continues to grow and so does the amount of cash spent. We are working hard at trying to find ways to encourage corporate giving and increase the strength of the corporate partnerships we already have.

Here are the Fisher Houses who often use the hotel program. Note the differences between the VA facilities and active duty houses.
In March of 2017, the VA system asked those houses who had a GPF (General Post Fund) of more than $1 million to take on the lodging of guests in hotels.
Some of your friends groups are able to assist the houses that need extra lodging. Thank you for that.
