Our Partners
HomeAid San Diego establishes partnerships with the real estate industry and
their trades, and non-profit Service Providers who provide programs and services
to San Diego’s temporarily homeless population of men, women, children and
families. Through these partnerships, HomeAid San Diego brings together
professional experts in the residential and commercial building industry with
qualified Service Providers who are seeking help to build or renovate their
facilities. Acting as a Project Manager, HomeAid San Diego facilitates
communication and understanding between the groups – the builders and their
trades and the Service Providers.
Coordinating this interrelated partnership for each building project is the
cornerstone of the HomeAid Building Model. HomeAid protects our partners under
an umbrella of liability insurance and works diligently through local and
national resources to get as much of the project labor and materials donated as
possible to offset project costs.
The residential and commercial builders (Builder Captains) do what they do best
in building the projects and enlisting their trade partners to do the same. The
commitment of labor, expertise, services and materials is typically donated or
provided at a reduced cost. When the projects are complete, they are turned
over to qualified Service Providers to run and implement their programs. The
residents of the programs are helped to regain their foothold in the community,
while they are being provided with a dignified and safe place to call their
temporary home.
HomeAid San Diego recognizes the importance of the skilled trade in the building
industry and the solid foundation of the Service Provider for whom the project
will be built, and brings together a diverse group for one purpose – to build or
renovate a shelter for the temporarily homeless in San Diego.
