HomeAid Colorado :: HomeAid Colorado Projects

HomeAid assists charitable organizations that have proven they are committed to caring for the temporarily homeless, connecting the organizations with professional homebuilders that provide the talent, resources and labor to build quality housing. Because much of the work and supplies are donated, HomeAid builds quality housing at very little cost to homeless service agencies.

HomeAid Colorado helps to identify areas that need new, high-quality shelters. Then, HomeAid identifies a participating home builder (the builder captain) who oversees and manages the project and leverages his relationships with skilled labor and building trades to obtain donated labor and materials to build the homes.

All skilled labor and building trades who work on HomeAid projects are licensed and insured. Only experienced workers build HomeAid homes, so the finished shelters are the same high quality as those homes built for conventional homeowners. Once the home is built, the builder turns the property over to the care provider. The care provider owns and operates the property to serve the needs of its homeless population. Ultimately, HomeAid provides the resources, so Colorado’s homeless have high-quality homes in which to rebuild their lives.

Because HomeAid is knowledgeable about both homebuilders and agencies serving the homeless, it is capable of spurring collaboration. HomeAid is the much-needed activator in the fight against homelessness.

Thankfully, through the generosity of the building industry, its trade partners, financial institutions and the public, HomeAid has been able to build 25 homes throughout Colorado that help thousands of our neighbors turn their lives around. Click here for one family’s story
