CB RICHARD ELLIS PARTNERS WITH HOMEAID TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR HOMELESS
CB Richard Ellis joined HomeAid Houston during its September 2010 “Get Out and Give Back Build Month” through CBRE Cares, the company’s national corporate philanthropy program. The two organizations worked together to help improve housing for Houston’s homeless.
On September 24, sixty CBRE volunteers partnered with HomeAid Houston to assist the Santa Maria House of Hope in northeast Houston. The project primarily involved painting seven apartments. Leslie King, HAH board member and a
member of GHBA’s Remodelors Council was on hand to “lead the charge.”
The volunteers broke up into six teams and were assigned an apartment or dormitory to paint. The goal was to complete seven apartments in one day. Sherwin-Williams provided the paint and the supplies at cost.
Nationally, more than 20 CBRE offices participated in rebuilding projects during this month of giving back, which benefitted many local communities throughout the U.S., in partnership with HomeAid America, Rebuilding Together, CBRE Shelter Program charitable partners, and Habitat for Humanity.
“HomeAid Houston was delighted to have
the help of volunteers from CB Richard Ellis through the CBRE Cares program to update the facilities at the Santa Maria House of Hope,” said Bette Moser, executive director. “Their assistance at this critical time will enable us to provide a clean and well maintained facility and enable the agency to better meet the needs of its clients.”
The mission of Santa Maria is to empower women to become alcohol and drug free and they are committed to providing services for community improvement and enrichment. It is the largest multi-site substance abuse treatment center serving women in the State of Texas. Over the past five years, Santa Maria has treated more than 5,000 women.
Our mission: To build dignified housing where homeless families & individuals can rebuild their lives. CALENDAR NOV 9
