When builders, trade partners, manufacturers, designers and other industry leaders come together, there is an incredible opportunity not only to talk about what we are building, but also about the communities we are building together. I recently had the opportunity to attend the Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) Building Industry Show (BIS).
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Association Management Conference (AMC), and once again, I was reminded just how valuable these connections are for HomeAid America.
One year ago, HomeAid America launched Unsheltered Conversations with a simple idea: create a place for meaningful conversations about homelessness that move beyond statistics, stereotypes, and headlines
One of the most rewarding parts of my role at HomeAid America over the past eight months has been partnering with four of our affiliates as they searched for their next Executive Director. It's a responsibility I don't take lightly because every Executive Director has the opportunity to shape not only the future of their affiliate, but also the lives of the individuals and families they serve through HomeAid.
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the National Alliance to End Homelessness Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference brings together over 1,600 advocates working to end homelessness across the country.
For the second consecutive year, I had the privilege of attending the Southeastern Builders Conference (SEBC) in Orlando, Florida. There is something special about being surrounded by thousands of professionals who are passionate about building communities—and even more rewarding when those conversations lead to opportunities to advance HomeAid's mission.
One of the greatest strengths of the homebuilding industry is its commitment to collaboration. That spirit was on full display this past week at PCBC 2026 in San Diego, where HomeAid leaders joined builders, developers, manufacturers, architects, designers, and industry partners to explore the future of housing in California.
There are few events in the homebuilding industry that combine professional excellence with a genuine commitment to making a difference quite like the Shore Consulting Sales & Marketing Leadership Summit. This year, HomeAid America was honored to return as one of Shore Consulting's Partners with a Purpose.
Recently, I had the opportunity to spend time with the incredible team at HomeAid North Texas, where I toured the "production" site for their innovative Bed Build program benefiting children served through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).
I have visited many HomeAid projects over the years, but this experience was unique.
