HomeAid Georgia

We had fun last Thursday with Weissman PC!

A group of 15 volunteers packed 500 CareKits that were distributed to first-time HomeAid CareKit recipient, Community Movement Awareness, Inc. The organization empowers youth, families, and communities through education, advocacy, and essential resources while bridging gaps for brighter futures.

Thank you, Weissman, for helping our neighbors in need!

HomeAid Georgia was honored to moderate the Developer Roundtable at the GIPPC Faith-Based Community Development Symposium on September 17!

The discussion focused on demystifying the reliance on state funding to get single-family home projects funded, including practical models for Faith-Based Organization's developer partnerships.

Panelists included:
• Joel Dixon, Principal, Urban Oasis
• Jim Jacobi, Founder & CEO, Parkland Communities
• Jordon Tench, P.E., Director of Land Acquisition & Development, O’Dwyer Properties

The learning continued that afternoon with Development 101, a breakout session led by Jordon Tench, P.E. with O’Dwyer Properties and Myles Cardenas with Taylor Morrison.

We’re grateful to be part of conversations that help connect faith-based organizations with the knowledge and resources they need to create more housing opportunities in their communities.

On September 18, a group of 38 volunteers from DRB Homes, CBRE, and Sherwin-Williams came together for a HomeAid Georgia Care Day at Rainbow Village, tackling interior painting at the organization’s Community Center.

The timing couldn’t be better as Rainbow Village is preparing to expand and serve twice as many families.

We’re grateful for the volunteers who gave their time and energy to help refresh a space that plays an important role in the Rainbow Village community. Thank you! 💙

On September 15, volunteers from VyStar Credit Union sponsored 500 HomeAid CareKits containing that were distributed to North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC).

Last week, volunteers from the Home Builder Finance Team at Regions Bank came together to assemble 500 HomeAid CareKits filled with essential hygiene items. The CareKits were distributed to The Place, which helps individuals and families meet immediate basic needs while working toward long-term self-sufficiency.

We're grateful for supporters like Regions Bank who are committed to giving back and making a difference in the lives of our neighbors. Thank you, Regions Bank, for helping make an impact in our community! 💙

On Friday September 11, we were honored to raise a flag to celebrate the completion of the tiny home in Dahlonega that our friends FFI Framing, Builders FirstSource, and Stuart Pro Heating & Air helped make possible for Veteran Fred Bettis.

Thank you to HOMES 4 Heroes for inviting HomeAid Georgia to be a part of this special project. 🇺🇸

Why Wednesday

Why does HomeAid Georgia Board Member Bruce Carothers support HomeAid?

"I have been very fortunate in my career to volunteer on a variety of projects with HomeAid Georgia and other charitable organizations. I feel that my background, access to resources, and willingness to serve can provide additional support to those in need. I am very passionate about the cause and want to give back more to the community."

Bruce has worked in the homebuilding industry for Ashton Woods and Starlight Homes since 2004. Most of his background has been on the Operations side of the industry; serving in a variety of construction roles from Builder to VP of Construction. For the last 3 years, he's been the Division Manager for Starlight Homes Georgia.

We’re excited to be back with our friends at Rainbow Village for a new construction project led by HomeAid Builder Captain, Varium Construction.

Thank you to All South Electric, Atlas Demo, NOCO Contracting, and Gill Plumbing for joining us onsite last week to begin planning the work ahead.

We’re looking forward to getting this project underway. More details coming soon!
