SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Our military members and their families work tirelessly to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily, and the transition to civilian life for veterans is not always easy. Today Meritage Homes and Operation Homefront announce the selection of two veterans who will receive brand new mortgage-free energy-efficient homes near Austin, TX and Charlotte, NC. They will be presented the keys during a ceremony in November in celebration of Veterans Day and Military Appreciation Month.
“We’re proud to take part in these home donations to support veterans in establishing strong foundations and helping them thrive in their communities,” shared Phillippe Lord, CEO of Meritage Homes. “Thank you to our employees, suppliers and trade partners for playing an important role in providing military families a place to call home.”
Lance Cpl. Eziyah Sims, a Marine Corps veteran, and his family will receive a new 1,300+ square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home located in the Waterstone Crossing community in Kyle, TX. Sims, who loves to cook, is most looking forward to making his grandmother’s recipes and his own creations in the kitchen. “It would be phenomenal to cook in my own home,” he said. “Operation Homefront and its donors make veterans like me feel valued…I want to give my kids their forever home…This is a wonderful program for those who want to do better by their families.”
Petty Officer 2nd Class Lt. Aaliyah King (Williams), a Navy veteran, and her family will be presented with the keys to a new nearly 2,700 square-foot home featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms in the Harper Landing community in Stanley, NC. King is excited for her family to establish roots in her hometown area of Charlotte. “I [want] to be 100 percent present for my children, and I would love to give them a home and stability. That’s all I want,” she said. She is excited for her children to build relationships with their grandparents—something that was difficult when she was in the service because visits were infrequent.
“Because of our continued partnership with Phillippe Lord and an amazing Meritage Homes’ team, the Sims and the Williams families not only receive the gift of a home, they will have a real opportunity to pursue dreams that seemed beyond their reach,” said Brig Gen (ret) John I. Pray, Jr., CEO of Operation Homefront. “We are very grateful for their unwavering dedication to helping us accomplish our vital mission to build strong, stable and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities – OUR communities – they have worked so hard to protect.”
Each family recipient will enter Operation Homefront’s Permanent Homes for Veterans program, which provides veterans and their families the opportunity to move into a home and work directly with a financial counselor and a caseworker to help them prepare for homeownership and learn strategies for achieving financial success.
