HomeAid National Capital Region provides safe and dignified housing and programmatic facilities for those experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness by maximizing our relationships within the building industry to garner in-kind donations of labor and materials.
To achieve its mission, HomeAid connects regional builders and housing industry professionals with nonprofits focused on ending homelessness. This connection allows each group to do what they do best. HomeAid’s Builder Captains and Trade Partners donate their expertise, time, and resources to renovate or build homeless shelters, housing facilities, and other non-profit spaces. This generous donation allows organizations to allocate their resources on programming and interventions to work toward sustainably ending homelessness. It’s the ultimate win-win!
HomeAid National Capital Region is the official nonprofit of the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association (NVBIA) and is a chapter of HomeAid America.
HomeAid National Capital Region’s mission is to help people experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness build new lives through construction, community engagement, and education.
Vison Statement
Our vision is to be a vital force in creating safe and dignified housing and programmatic facilities for those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness
Many of the nonprofit spaces where homeless individuals gather for programming are aging, inefficient, unsafe, and in need of general upgrades. Our nonprofit partners often do not have the funding, expertise, or staff time to undertake these projects. Together with our Builder Captains and Trade Partners, HomeAid provides these upgrades at a reduced cost to our non-profit partners. Our partners in the homebuilding industry have generously donated more than $13 million to our projects, saving shelters nearly 60% on construction costs.
By creating improved living conditions and increasing capacity at low or no cost, we enable our nonprofit partners to invest their funds in additional housing and services for their clients rather than construction expenses. HomeAid makes our community stronger both by providing individuals in need with safe, stable homes and spaces to heal, but also by strengthening the capacity of our nonprofits partners.
We are also a vital partner in raising awareness of homelessness and together with our partners, we are working toward long-term and sustainable solutions. HomeAid fulfills an otherwise unmet need in our area and provides an opportunity for the public, private and nonprofit sectors to collaborate and work together to find solutions.
We do more than build and upgrade housing and spaces—we change lives.
If your organization serves individuals or families affected by homelessness and has housing or program space that is in need of extensive renovations or you have a bigger construction vision for the future, HomeAid can help!
Serving as a Builder Captain may be one of the most satisfying construction projects you, your partners, and your staff will ever experience.
Trade Partners are the backbone of our accomplishments! Each HomeAid project relies on the generosity, expertise, and commitment of many partners working together.
You don’t need to be a Builder or Trade Partner to be part of the solution—find out how you can get involved!
