No. IHOOT is a 501c3 nonprofit charity. It’s a means for eligible applicants to request free lodging through the www.ihoot.org portal. V4V ensures that requests are compliant with Resort and IHOOT Guidelines and Terms & Conditions and forwards them to the Resort Reps. The Team can’t determine availability in advance nor do they control availability and/or approvals.

Applications are reviewed in order of submission and evaluated based on:
• Eligibility
• Completeness of documentation
• Compliance with Guidelines and Terms & Conditions

Rank, status, branch of service, and disability rating are not considered in the selection process.

Stays are donated by resort and timeshare owners supporting IHOOT’s mission: “Helping Active-Duty Military and Veterans reconnect with their families.”

Accommodations are fully free. Applicants are responsible for travel-related services such as transportation, food & beverage, resort fees, taxes, etc.
