HomeAid, Toll Brothers to Build Girls Home for Youth For Tomorrow
Groundbreaking Ceremony: May 5, 2016, 10:00 a.m.
YFT house
HomeAid Northern Virginia and Builder Captain Toll Brothers have announced that they will break ground next month on a 5,000 square-foot, $650,000 home on the Bristow, Va., campus of Youth For Tomorrow (YFT). The groundbreaking - on Thursday, May 5, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. - comes just five months after YFT opened its doors in December 2015 to a new girls home built by Home Aid, Stanley Martin Homes, and trade partners. This second HomeAid-built home will again allow YFT to expand on-campus residential services for up to 36 more girls who are pregnant, young mothers, homeless, runaways, or survivors of sex trafficking every year.   
 
The new home will also include a three-bedroom, attached apartment to accommodate a "house parent," who will be responsible for the daily care and safety of the 11- to 17-year-old girls.
 
Toll Brothers logo "Having 'house parents' so close at hand will also allow them to provide the loving care - in a real home - that so many of these girls have never known," said Dr. Gary L. Jones, CEO of Youth For Tomorrow. "The generous and gracious support of HomeAid and Toll Brothers will greatly aid the children who are directed to receive the benefits of our comprehensive program, which includes counseling, education, and the re-direction of their personal behaviors."
 
"We have worked with HomeAid on several projects, and this will be our third as Builder Captain," said Toll Brothers Regional President Bill Gilligan . "HomeAid makes the Builder Captain's job easier by serving as an interface between Toll Brothers and the charitable organization. We believe in giving back to the community and our partnership with HomeAid has been a great way to do that."
 
The project is expected to be completed this year.

HomeAid, Knutson Homes Double Capacity at WGB Store
HomeAid Northern Virginia and Builder Captain   Knutson Companies have put the finishing touches on more than 7,000 square feet of space at The Women Giving Back (WGB) Store, where women and children from local service providers shop for free clothing and accessories every month. The $36,000 addition, adjacent to The Store's existing retail space, essentially doubled The Store's capacity and will ultimately allow WGB to add weekday shopping hours to its monthly schedule.
