HOMEAID AND SIGNORELLI COMPANY BREAK GROUND FOR NEW DUPLEX PROJECT IN CONROE

On October 1, HomeAid Houston, a 501(C) (3) charity of the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) and the Signorelli Company broke ground to mark the beginning of construction on three duplexes for Angel Reach Village, a Conroe area community of homes available to at-risk youth and foster families, with Phase 1 planned for 16 total duplexes and 32 homes.  The Village is a project from Angel Reach, a local faith-based nonprofit that works with youth ages 16 to 24, as well as foster parents who need support.

The duplexes will provide a safe, nurturing environment that will also enhance the continuing education path the youth are on to acquire GED/HS diplomas, higher education and or life skills training.

The project is located on approximately four acres of land currently owned by Angel Reach.  The Village development is being led by the Signorelli Company and is planned to offer 32 two-bedroom homes in the first phase with an estimated cost of $650,000 for homesite delivery, with an additional $2M to build out the homes.  The project is estimated to be complete over the next 3-4 months.

Signorelli’s home building division, First America Homes will also be building in the Village and helping to recruit additional Builder Captains along with HomeAid Houston. Tom Cox with Gracepoint Homes worked with Eric L Davis Engineering on designing the home. Early builder commitments have included Gracepoint Homes and John Wynn with Vanguard Homes.

Groundbreaking attendees and speakers were Jean Radach, Angel Reach’s executive director; Charles Maurice, Angel Reach chairman of the board; Danny Signorelli, Signorelli Company president and CEO; Juanita Orsak, Signorelli Company’s vice president of land development; Nicole Keown, HomeAid Houston’s vice president; Eric Maksym, Builder Captain Starter Homes of Texas CEO and Aimee Bertrand, GHBA CEO.

During the speakers’ remarks Conroe City Councilman Curt Maddux proclaimed October 1 Angel Reach Day and presented the official City of Conroe Proclamation to Radach.  The invocation was delivered by John Hull, The Woodlands Methodist Church’s Pastor of Missions.

Several subcontractors and vendors also attended along with staff members from HomeAid Houston, the Signorelli Company, Angel Reach and Angel Reach residents.

“This commitment by the project’s developer Signorelli Company and all the building partners is life-changing for these kids in the Angel Reach program,” said Carole Brady, executive director of HomeAid.  “Their generosity will help keep kids at-risk off the street and on the road to a brighter future.  We can’t thank them enough for their philanthropic spirit.”
