Hancock Communities, one of the Valley’s most recognized residential homebuilders, announced today it will donate a single-family home in one of its Sagewood Communities to Scottsdale-based nonprofit Project We Remember. The new home will provide long-term housing for disadvantaged U.S. military veterans and their families.
Project We Remember is a nonprofit agency that provides housing for needy U.S. military personnel, veterans and their families. The organization will work with Hancock Communities to select families to occupy the home and then will assist each family with services such as job placement and financial education until they are able to move into more permanent housing. The first family is expected to move into the house after construction is complete in early fall.
“Our soldiers provide such a great service to this Country and we are truly humbled by their courage,” said Greg Hancock, Hancock Communities president. “It is an honor and a responsibility to do our part for the men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom. Our company and its employees are excited to be making this contribution to a local family, and proud to be partners with Project We Remember.”
Project We Remember is already providing short-term housing for disadvantaged veterans at a condominium complex in central Phoenix. The Hancock Communities home will mark the organization’s first single-family home and it hopes to provide future homes for the nonprofit in all of their communities which include Maricopa, Buckeye and Coolidge/Florence.
“This is a tremendous gift to the organization that will enable us not only to take care of our veterans in their time of need, but also help them move forward with their lives to where they can be completely self-sufficient,” said Vernon Bagley, Project We Remember executive director and founder.
