Partners HomeAid is a national non-profit organization founded by the home building industry to make a difference by doing what the industry does best -- building homes. As a result, HomeAid is able to multiply every dollar that we receive two- to three-fold through the donation of building materials and the volunteer labor of professional builders. HomeAid’s corporate partners, especially the building industry and building industry related companies, have been extremely generous to HomeAid and its efforts to build high-quality housing for the nation's temporarily homeless. For the past 17 years, America's top builders and building industry related companies have made it possible for over $50 million in professional labor and materials to be donated to housing projects. Retail costs of these projects exceed $170 million. We have constructed more than 135 mult-unit homes with an additional 58 currently in development. In terms of the numbers of people whose lives have been transformed by HomeAid, more than 70,000 men, women, and children.
