HomeAid Georgia's mission is to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness build new lives through construction, community engagement, and education.

On April 23, HomeAid Georgia proudly joined Taylor Morrison, partners and supporters to celebrate the ribbon cutting of A Place to Grow at Breakthru House—a milestone moment years in the making. This transformative expansion includes two newly constructed 6,000-square-foot recovery residences, adding 24 additional beds for single mothers and women working to overcome addiction.

For Breakthru House, this project represents far more than additional space—it brings to life a long-held vision to expand its impact and serve more families on their path to recovery. That vision is now a reality thanks to the leadership of Taylor Morrison and the collective effort of committed trade partners who made this project possible.

HomeAid Georgia’s mission is rooted in building and maintaining housing for nonprofit partners in a way that reduces construction costs, allowing those organizations to direct more resources toward life-changing programs and services. A Place to Grow is a powerful example of that mission in action.

HomeAid Builder Captain JJ Murray expressed, “This project reminded our team why we do what we do. It wasn’t just about building homes—it was about creating a place where women and their children can rebuild their lives. Taylor Morrison proud to help create that kind of hope and opportunity."

Through the generosity of trade partners who donated or deeply discounted their labor and materials, the project has already achieved $623,000—with more savings anticipated. Their contributions are not only reflected in the physical structures, but in the lasting impact these homes will have on the women and children who will rebuild their lives within them.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support of HomeAid Georgia, Taylor Morrison, and their dedicated trade partners,” said BreNita Jackson, Executive Director of Breakthru House. “Because of their commitment, we are able to double the number of individuals we serve while creating a true home environment that directly supports the treatment we provide. These two new homes will also make it possible for women to enter treatment while maintaining care and custody of their children. Thank you.”

Who HomeAid Helps

Megan had not seen her daughter and son in five years. Addiction had taken nearly everything—her job, her driver’s license, and her sense of hope. Wanting a different future for her, Megan’s mother helped her enter treatment at Breakthru House.

At first, Megan didn’t want to stay. But day by day, something began to shift. She realized that treatment was her path back to the life she deserved—and the healing she needed. Once she committed, Megan gave it everything she had. She worked hard, saved every dollar she earned, and even walked to work so she could set more aside. Her goal was simple but powerful: to show up as the mother her children deserved.

Through determination and steady progress, Megan began to rebuild her life. She was able to attend her son’s high school graduation—something that once felt out of reach—and even paid for his cap and gown and a celebration to honor him. Her son moved to attend the University of Alabama, and Megan decided to move closer to him as she began a new job. Her daughter is now attending the same university.

Megan has rebuilt a life she is proud of—one rooted in strength, resilience, and hope—made possible through her commitment to change and the support she found at Breakthru House.
