HomeAid has a proven track record of transforming lives and has...

• Through local and national builders, trades, suppliers, financial institutions, and community partners, transformed over 1,183 properties across the entire Continuum of Care into safe and stable housing for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, effectively ending homelessness for over 701,000 people.

• Invested more than $340 million in housing and facilities that improve communities across the country

• Secured over $141 million in savings on renovation and building projects – money that went back into life-changing programs

• Added or preserved 13,445 beds

• Partnered with thousands of builders, trade partners, and suppliers to provide necessary construction services to hundreds of non-profit service providers

HomeAid’s core programs include:

1. Construction: we are one of the nation’s largest facilitators of the building of safe and dignified housing and programmatic facilities for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness;

2. Community Engagement: our Essentials program organizes community-wide drives to collect and distribute diapers, formula, hygiene items to families in need. HomeAid Care Days are hands-on volunteer workdays in which minor repairs and upgrades are made at nonprofit service provider locations. Tasks like painting, landscaping, cleaning and small construction projects are done at no charge based on each organization’s needs. Since 2001, HomeAid has completed nearly 100 HomeAid Care Days (and counting), resulting savings of more than $300,000 to service providers;

3. Education: we bring awareness and information about homelessness to the building industry and to the community; and

4. Work Force Development: our WORKS program provides opportunities for individuals to learn skills in the building industry that can provide a livable wage.

The families and individuals who benefit from HomeAid programs have usually experienced a life-changing event such as job loss, foreclosure, bankruptcy, domestic violence, illness, disability, death of a spouse, medical expenses for a child, crisis pregnancy, or a national disaster.
