Masco In The Community

Partner Spotlight: HomeAid America

Housing

November is Homelessness Awareness Month, and Masco would like to highlight the work of one of our core partners engaged in the fight to end homelessness: HomeAid America. A Masco nonprofit partner since 2002, HomeAid America and its chapters have served 388,000 people since its founding in 1989 and have built over 550 shelter projects around the US.

This year, homelessness is a particularly critical issue in our communities, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and millions of Americans out of work. Masco has donated $100,000 to help HomeAid in their mission in 2020, including $25,000 in funds from Delta Faucet Company. Behr Paint Company also stepped up to support their neighboring HomeAid Orange County, sponsoring the “Help Them Home” fundraiser that benefitted HomeAid and other local housing organizations.

Masco is proud of the strong nonprofit partnerships we have in the fight against homelessness, and we are especially grateful this month for the tireless work organizations like HomeAid America do to advocate for safe and dignified living conditions for all.
