The Air Force Enlisted Village is dedicated to providing a home to the widows of those who so faithfully and gallantly served our country. We are open to all widows of career enlisted Air Force members. Our primary focus is on the indigent widow who would be forced to live in sub-standard and unsafe conditions if not for the housing we provide. Each of our residents is treated with the full dignity and care they so richly deserve. Other categories we serve are: widows of spouses who die on active duty, family members of active duty personnel and retirees during times of natural disasters and the widows of other service branches (on a space available basis). Our funding is based on donations. We count on the support of those who share our belief that enlisted widows deserve a safe, secure home in their senior years.
