HOMEAID TEAM DEDICATES U.S. VETS PROJECT
HomeAid Houston and team members, Ryan Boyles with GB General Contractors Inc., Lynne T. Jones with Lynne T. Jones Interior Design, and Cindy Miller of David Weekley Homes, were proud to help dedicate the renovation project they spearheaded at the U.S. Veterans Initiative’s Mid Town Terraces facility.
The building was badly in need of a complete remodel of the day room that provides a place for vets to relax and socialize. The Mid Town Terraces facility has offered housing and services for thousands of homeless U.S. veterans over the past 14 years, with an estimated 323 receiving services each day. Work included wall repair and painting, renovation of the floor and installation of new tile, replacement of the existing sink, toilet, light fixture, mirror, paper towel and toilet paper dispensers and a complete refurnishing of the common area. All furniture was donated by David Weekley Homes.
Green Built Gulf Coast was recognized for its contribution that enabled the purchase of two flat screen televisions and a gaming system from Best Buy.
Included in the dedication ceremony were Mark Welch, HAH president; Bette Moser, executive director; Tom Mitchell, U.S. Veterans Initiative; Remodeler Captain Ryan Boyles, GB General Contractors; Lynne Jones and Lindsey Simpson, Lynne T. Jones Interior Design; Cindy Miller, David Weekley Homes; and GHBA President Will Holder. Guests included vendors who donated materials and labor as well as a number of elected officials.
The U.S. Veterans Initiative provides comprehensive services to the veterans they serve, including case management, employment assistance, job placement, counseling, and drug and alcohol free housing. Veterans progress through a seamless continuum of services designed to help them increase their level of responsibility and live independently.

“Texas leads the nation in offering services to returning vets,” said Tom Mitchell, U.S. Veterans. “Facilities like Mid Town Terraces give hope to soldiers who have given so much to ensure the American way of life.”
“The U.S. Veterans Initiative project has brought HomeAid Houston together with a generous team of donors to update and enhance the Mid Town Terraces facility,” said Mark Welch, HomeAid board president. “Each donation is one step closer to creating a warm, friendly environment for our nation’s veterans who are on a path toward independence.”
