Why Volunteer as a HomeAid® Atlanta Builder Captain
Manage episode 438245302 series 1547460
Mandy Crater, executive director of HomeAid® Atlanta, and Ronnie Cline, vice president of construction with Taylor Morrison, join host Carol Morgan for this week’s Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Crater and Cline discuss what it means to be a Builder Captain for HomeAid® Atlanta and volunteering as a home builder.
Since 2001, HomeAid® Atlanta has worked to build new lives for individuals experiencing homelessness. The organization has completed over 200 construction projects and continues to make a difference through construction, community engagement and education. In partnership with local homebuilders like Taylor Morrison and nonprofit housing providers, HomeAid® Atlanta provides stable places for individuals or families to stay.
“We get discounts and donations from our friends in the building industry and help our friends that are in the housing industry use those discounted donations to improve their facilities, to expand, to maybe just do some maintenance,” said Crater. “So, then they are spending their hard-earned money on the people that they’re trying to help.”
Taylor Morrison is currently partnering with HomeAid® Atlanta on two projects, Breakthrough House and a project in Cherokee County for girls in foster care. Breakthrough House is comprised of two sections: one for single women transitioning into sobriety and the second for recovering mothers and their children. Up in Cherokee County, Taylor Morrison and HomeAid® Atlanta plan to construct a place for family visitations, donation drop-offs and more, further enhancing the security of the campus. As a top five national builder, Taylor Morrison is a great resource for building quality homes that last for those in need and is a proud Builder Captain.
“Taylor Morrison is very supportive of everything that we do with HomeAid ® and what it brings to the community, but it is a huge responsibility,” said Cline. “The great thing is, our trade partners out there really work with us side by side, and the relationships that we build over time are unreal, and their generosity is great. They contribute a lot to these projects, and the relationships that they build with those that we’re helping last a lifetime.”
For many projects, including HomeAid® Atlanta builds, Taylor Morrison calls on its own trade partners. Cline describes it as “team building” when the construction company and its trade partners collaborate on projects off the clock.
“Generally, we’ll have multiple trades in every area, and I’ve never had one not want to help,” said Cline. “Usually, they want to do a lot more than what we’re even asking them to do. Our trade partners are huge to us and our business. We can’t do it without them, and for what we do with HomeAid®, they really contribute a lot.”
How does the HomeAid® process work financially? Non-profits are invited to fill out an application but must have at least 75% of the project cost in the bank. For a $100,000 project, that means $75,000 is secured. The goal when bringing in Building Captains and their trade partners is to get the cost down further. If the project can be completed for 50% less than expected, the rest of the money can go towards maintenance, furnishing the space or back to the bank for another project.
“That’s their skin in the game because this is their facility,” said Crater. “We’re just helping them to make it nicer or even constructed in the first place, and then they have a space where they can do their work and help people move forward with their lives.”
How can you get involved? Well, that is easy! Builders can volunteer as a HomeAid Builder Captain to lead the construction of a housing facility or get involved with a one-day, hands-on project. Taking on a build project with HomeAid Atlanta is the perfect opportunity to do what you do best – build homes!
