Dunham House Opens Applications for Residents

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dunham House, a first-of-its-kind, transformational initiative for combat-wounded veterans in need of long-term residential-centered care for their wounds, has opened applications for residents. Information is available at https://dunhamhouse.org/residency-info/.

“This is a new beginning for those who have sacrificed so much,” Wounded Warriors Family Support Advisory Board Member and CIRV Healthcare Consulting CEO Dr. Joann Schaefer said. “This is a special independent and assisted living facility just for combat-wounded veterans because heroes deserve more than thanks. They deserve a home. We are excited to announce that applications are open.”

Dunham House, which is slated to open in September 2026, will be situated on a scenic 40-acre site in north Omaha to allow for multi-phase construction. The $13.9 million project will serve as a long-term residential community for 30 veterans who require supportive care, while seeking to maintain their independence.

The single-story complex will span approximately 27,500 square feet. It will house assisted living-style one-bedroom apartments along with specialized units for residents with greater physical needs. In addition to personalized care, residents will benefit from community-focused spaces, such as a great room, dining area, fitness center and memorial plaza.

“The Dunham House is not just any facility,” Schaefer said. “It will be a place of hope and healing…truly a home for combat-wounded veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.”

Dunham House is an initiative and project development with Omaha-based nonprofit Wounded Warriors Family Support. It will be part of the Wounded Warriors Family Support programming and operational scope. Donors can help build Dunham House for $25 a month. A commitment to donate $25 monthly builds 1 square foot.

Dunham House will partner with Omaha-based CrossMed Healthcare Staffing to fill medical staffing needs. CrossMed Healthcare Staffing specializes in connecting traveling healthcare professionals with exceptional travel assignments across the nation. CrossMed’s team helps healthcare professionals explore travel opportunities in hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities – all while offering personalized support throughout the process.
