HomeAid Northern Virginia Receives Community Partner Award
“HomeAid Northern Virginia has gone above and beyond to assist and serve homeless families in Northern Virginia,” said Jewell Mikula, Executive Director of Shelter House, Inc., in conferring their Community Partner Award on HomeAid Northern Virginia at a recent banquet.
The Award is presented annually by Shelter House to honor volunteers that help the homeless in Fairfax County. HomeAid Northern Virginia was recognized for their work on this two-phase project. Construction of offices for staff allowed for renovations to existing space, creating two apartments that will house families needing shelter in an emergency situation. The work was completed by co-Builder Captains Miller and Smith and the Northern Virginia Building and Industry Association’s (NVBIA) Custom Builders Council.
“HomeAid Northern Virginia fulfilled a dream for Shelter House…a dream that never would have become a reality without their very kind and considerate devotion to our program,” said Mikula. “We want to thank HomeAid for allowing us to grow and begin planning for the future as we join our community in the effort to end homelessness. There will never be enough words to describe our gratitude.”
“More than $200,000 worth of services and materials were donated to the Shelter House Project,” said Doug Smith of Miller and Smith, a HomeAid Northern Virginia Board Member and 2005 President of the organization. “With the money we saved Shelter House through our in-kind donations of over $200,000, Shelter House was able to use this money to purchase a condominium that they will use for transitional housing. This is the beauty of the HomeAid model.
