 I’ve had the privilege to be involved with HomeAid since 1993 working with innovative and caring members of the Building Industry Association to create a vehicle to channel their talents and resources to build housing for the neediest in our community – homeless men, women and children. Now more than 20 years later with the support of thousands of builders, architects, specialty contractors, consultants and individual donors, HomeAid Orange County has built 44 housing developments in our community. Working in collaboration with 25 services providers to the homeless, we’ve built housing that provides a safe refuge for thousands of men, women and children seeking an escape from the vicious cycle of homelessness.
The downturn in our economy has presented many challenges for HomeAid and increased hardships for the people we are committed to assist. I’m honored as the president of HomeAid’s Board of Directors to work with steadfast men and women that have not retreated from the hurdles placed before us, but have instead risen to the challenges by embracing the organization’s vision and mission. |
