What Do We Do

Through housing development and community outreach, our mission is to help those experiencing homelessness to build new lives.  Our approach provides a platform for the home building industry, community partners, and individuals to come together around a shared vision for driving change and maximizing community impact.

Housing Development

In partnership with the home building industry (builders, trade and service partners, and their employees), local nonprofit organizations, and community leaders – we build and maintain housing for those experiencing homelessness. By leveraging our relationships within the home building industry to garner in-kind donations of expertise, labor, and materials, we are able to build high quality housing and at a fraction of the typical cost. This collaboration allows nonprofit organizations to reinvest resources into life-changing programs, like financial education, career training, parenting skills, and other socio-emotional supports and counseling that help move families from homelessness to stability.  

Community Outreach

During times of crisis and transition, it can be challenging for individuals and families to provide for even their most basic needs. HomeAid Orlando works to provide dignity and restore hope through various community outreach programs, including:

• HomeAid Essentials – Through workplace donation drives and other efforts, we collect clothing, blankets, food, and diapers and other essential items. We then partner with community organizations across the Valley to ensure these much needed items reach those most in need.  
   
• HomeAid CareKits – Bringing together donors and volunteers, we collect and assemble travel-size toiletry items including soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and more.  These items are then thoughtfully packaged into CareKits and distributed to the most vulnerable homeless populations through a network of emergency shelters and street outreach teams.
   
• HomeAid CareDays – Through hands-on opportunities, volunteers come together to support the work of our network of community nonprofit partners. Volunteers work with HomeAid to assist with housing/shelter improvement projects such as landscape renewal, interior/exterior clean-up, painting and light construction work.
