Meritage Homes Continues Partnership with Operation Homefront To Build New Home for Military Family in South Florida
24 Maio 2023 - 10:00AM
Today, Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH), the fifth-largest public
homebuilder in the U.S., announced that it has once again renewed
its partnership with Operation Homefront, a leading national
nonprofit organization dedicated to building strong, stable,
and secure military families. This is the tenth year of
Meritage’s partnership with Operation Homefront’s Permanent Homes
for Veterans program to build and donate mortgage-free homes
for military families. By the end of 2023, Meritage will have
donated a total of 18 homes as part of the program.
“We are honored to support the Permanent Homes for Veterans
program for a tenth year,” said Phillippe Lord, CEO of Meritage
Homes. “We recognize the sacrifice that military members and their
families make and are proud to welcome them into a home they can
call their own. The work we do with Operation Homefront is
especially meaningful to us given the many veterans who work at
Meritage and understand first-hand the challenges of transitioning
back to civilian life.”
Earlier this month, Meritage hosted an event to celebrate the
groundbreaking of the home. The nearly 2,000 square foot home will
be located in the Crescent Lakes community in Babcock Ranch,
Florida, which is the first fully solar-powered town in the U.S.
The home will offer a modern, open-concept floorplan with
designer-curated interiors and energy-efficiency features,
including a multispeed HVAC system, spray-foam insulation, and
WaterSense certified water fixtures. The house will be outfitted
with a smart home suite that allows the homeowner to set the
thermostat and control security devices from a convenient app.
“As we take time to remember and honor those who gave their
lives in the defense of our great nation, I feel we need to
recognize those, like Meritage Homes, for all they have done over
the past 10 years to help us help our military families in their
time of need,” said retired Brig. Gen. John I. Pray, Jr.,
president and CEO of Operation Homefront. “Meritage Homes’
enthusiastic support of our highly regarded housing programs brings
our mission to life and allows us to give our military families the
opportunity to thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the
communities—OUR communities—that they have worked so hard to
protect.”
The Permanent Homes for Veterans program has provided more than
700 military families with mortgage-free homes, totaling over $102
million in home equity since 2012. The 2023 recipient of the
Meritage home will be selected by Operation Homefront and presented
the keys at a ceremony in November ahead of Veterans Day.
Lord continued, “We selected this area in South Florida as it
has a significant veteran population. Additionally, it is worth
noting how immensely grateful we are to our vendor partners who
share our same mission to support military families. These
donations would not be possible without the time, services, and
materials they provide.”
