National Projects

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) operates a clearinghouse for information on a nationwide network of community outreach programs sponsored by local builders. NAHB has registered more than 1,300 Home Builders Care projects since the program’s inception in 2000, including projects by our Home Builders Care Foundation in the metro Washington area. Projects generally fall into the following seven categories:

• Providing safe, decent, affordable housing
• Helping children
• Promoting education, training, and career development
• Preserving the environment
• Promoting health, nutrition, and safety
• Helping persons with disabilities
• Improving and enhancing communities

HomeAid is a leading national non-profit provider of housing for today's homeless. The organization builds and renovates multi-unit homes for America's temporarily homeless while they rebuild their lives. In partnership with Home Builders Care Foundation, the HomeAid Washington DC chapter was launched in 2007. Nationwide, HomeAid has provided housing for more than 80,000 individuals who have been rendered temporarily homeless due to circumstances beyond their control, including:

• Abused children
• Victims of domestic violence
• At-risk teens
• People living with HIV/AIDS
• Those who are temporarily out of work
• Victims of natural disasters and other catastrophes

HomeAid's mission is "to build dignified housing where homeless families and individuals can rebuild their lives." Although our mission gives us broad latitude to engage in building projects across the entire Continuum of Care, from emergency shelters to transitional housing to permanent supportive housing, every HomeAid project includes support services that help residents move toward self-sufficiency, such as education and job skills training, physical and emotional support, etc. For more information, please visit www.homeaid.org.
