HomeAid, Stanley Martin Homes to Break Ground on Biggest Project of Year
|
 | HomeAid and Stanley Martin Homes will soon build a new home like this one on Youth for Tomorrow's campus.
|
 HomeAid Northern Virginia, Builder Captain Stanley Martin Homes and trade partners are set to break ground this spring on what will be our largest project of the year, a 5,000 square foot home in Bristow, Va., for Youth for Tomorrow's (YFT) Residential Treatment Services.
The estimated $500,000 project will allow YFT to expand on-campus residential services for up to 36 more girls every year, including those aged 11 to 17 who have been victims of domestic sex trafficking.
"We are profoundly grateful that HomeAid has stepped forward to help us meet the increased demand from girls in Northern Virginia who are seeking our comprehensive services," said Dr. Gary Jones, CEO of Youth for Tomorrow. "We are only one of two facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region, and the only one in the Commonwealth, that offers personalized therapy, family counseling, individual counseling, and special education services from a nationally accredited secondary school. This is a timely partnership, as we are short on bed space, and this expansion will allow us to help many more girls in crisis."
The project is HomeAid's first partnership with YFT, and we expect to dedicate the new home before the year's end. Thank you, Stanley Martin Homes and the Trade Partner Council!

Through print and broadcast, HomeAid is continuing its efforts to educate the public about homelessness in Northern Virginia, as well as how the organization and its partners are working to reduce it.
An op-ed written by HomeAid Northern Virginia (HANV) Executive Director Christy Eaton was featured in The Fairfax Times and in the Sun Gazette on December 19. "Tackling Homelessness, One Family at a Time" focuses on the lack of affordable housing in the Greater Washington, D.C., area and how HomeAid helps families build hope for the future.
On NBC Comcast's "Newsmakers" segment, Yolanda Vazquez also spoke with Eaton about making safe and stable environments for the homeless by having homebuilders give back to the communities in which they are already building.
