HomeAid Hero
Building hope and home for men, women, children, veterans, and families facing homelessness.
HomeAid Heroes is a unique program that offers companies the opportunity to give back to the Houston community in a way that best suits their business. As a HomeAid Hero, the company decides how they would like to contribute! Heroes can either donate a preset amount every time they celebrate a business milestone, whether it's the sale of a home, a window installation, closing of a mortgage, etc. or simply donate a certain amount each quarter or year.
Funds raised through the HomeAid Heroes program will go towards HomeAid Houston’s major construction or remodeling projects, both types of projects serve various homeless service providers in the community. Click here to learn more about HomeAid Houston’s current and completed projects.
