HomeAid Southern Nevada Completes Project
HomeAid Southern Nevada, the Official Outreach Partner of the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association, has nearly completed its third of four custom home renovations on the New Vista Ranch property that will benefit people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The house should be ready by September 20th.
HomeAid provided time and materials through in-kind donations from trading partners, and home builder Toll Brothers directed construction on one of the four homes on New Vista Ranch. The renovations and upgrades include exterior paintwork, new cabinets, floors, shiplap surfaces, back panels, and countertops throughout the home. New equipment and window treatments were included as part of the project.
In total, the renovation work will cover almost 3,000 square meters for the residents. The recently renovated home serves as part of HomeAid’s mission to provide safe, clean, and dignified accommodations to those in need. For more information on HomeAid Southern Nevada, visit homeaidsn.org.
