Newport
Beach, Calif. (February 22, 2017)
– HomeAid America, a building industry charity and one of the nation’s largest
builders of housing for the homeless, has announced that TRI Pointe Group will
continue in the non-profit’s Corporate Partnership program as a leading national
sponsor in 2017. TRI Pointe Group is a family of six premium regional
homebuilders and one of the top 10 largest public homebuilders in the United
States, based on equity market capitalization.
HomeAid America CEO
Peter Simons said, “TRI Pointe and its family of homebuilders have been
supporters of HomeAid across the country for several years, building projects
for the homeless, volunteering in community outreach activities, and providing
needed funding locally. Their support for HomeAid America as Corporate Partners
is critical to help us support our chapters and create new ones to continue our
ongoing effort on behalf of the building industry to help end homelessness in
this country.”
TRI Pointe will continue
to be represented on the HomeAid America Board by John Monacci, Executive Vice President
of Winchester Homes, a member of TRI Pointe Group in the Washington DC Area and
who also sits on HomeAid Northern Virginia’s chapter Board. TRI Pointe Group’s
other homebuilding companies are active with HomeAid in its markets in Arizona
as Maracay Homes, in California and Las Vegas as Pardee Homes, in Seattle as
Quadrant Homes, in California and Colorado as TRI Pointe Homes, and in Houston
as Trendmaker Homes.
“We’re
honored to continue our involvement with HomeAid to lend a hand and give back
to our communities in a meaningful way,” said Linda Mamet, Vice President of
Corporate Marketing at TRI Pointe Group. “Moving into 2017, we’ll continue to
look for opportunities to get all our team members involved with HomeAid at
both the national and local chapter levels.”
The team members from TRI Pointe Group’s family of builders have helped
numerous HomeAid chapters across the country over the past year. Working with
HomeAid Northern Virginia (HANV) and Final Salute, Winchester Homes is serving
as the builder captain to renovate a home that provides housing for female
veterans and their minor children who are struggling with homelessness or
military transition.
Trendmaker Homes recently helped with the construction of the
Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Benefit Home. Trendmaker donated
construction management for the new home in the Meridiana master planned
community. It is currently on the market for sale with proceeds benefiting
HomeAid Houston, among others.
Working with HomeAid Southern Nevada, Pardee Homes Las Vegas served as
builder captain for an extensive three-week renovation of Catholic Charities
Men’s Night Shelter, which houses an average of 500 men each night, 365 days a
year. Pardee Homes also served as builder captain for a remodel of Family to
Family Connection’s two suites inside Cambridge Community Center in Las Vegas.
Quadrant Homes along with other sales and marketing leaders from across
TRI Pointe Group participated in a community outreach Care Kit Day to assemble
and donate more than 600 CareKits for Teen Feed, a local homeless youth service
provider in Seattle’s University District. Quadrant Homes Vice President of
Land Acquisition and HomeAid Puget Sound Board member Pete Nichols also helped
organize a model home furniture sale with proceeds benefiting the Puget Sound
chapter.
Maracay Homes also held
a community outreach Care Kit Day to benefit Sojourner Center, a
service provider that houses and helps women and children affected by domestic
violence in the Phoenix area. More than 30 Maracay team members, led
by President Andy Warren, assembled and donated 400 Care Kits to Sojourner
Center.
TRI Pointe Group partnered with HomeAid Orange
County to prepare 200 sack lunches to distribute to the homeless at the Santa
Ana Civic Center. They also prepared 200 hygiene kits and employee-donated
clothes that went to Isaiah House, a woman’s homeless shelter in Santa Ana,
