Operation Homefront is great program to help veterans. Some will give grants too, including for home repairs. That is incredible that your father is still alive, served in the "greatest generation" and WW2. Also try a local church in addition to Homefront, and look here for Operation Homefront programs for military memebrs.

Since my mom passed nearly 2 years ago, my father hasn't been the same. It's been rough going. My family and I opted to move to Alabama to help him out. We knew going in that the house needed work, but we weren't prepared for all that we found. Upon arrival, we found that the roof is leaking, there's a carbon monoxide leak and they're also several ungrounded exposed wires. The house runs on gas but even that system has a leak so we can't stay there. My father is determined to keep his house because it's paid for and being a WW2 veteran he is old school. But there's no way he can live there in it's current condition so he needs a grant. We don't have the money to pay for these repairs ourselves. Can you find it in your heart to assist us in any way? I assure you that anything you can do to help us will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.
