Construction Resources is a one-stop shop for all residential and commercial kitchen needs for home builders and remodelers. The 39-year-old company has provided a combination of kitchen countertops, cultured marble vanity tops, sinks, mirrors and wire shelving for four transitional housing projects in partnership with HomeAid Atlanta.

In 2006, Construction Resources joined hands with HomeAid Atlanta and builder captain John Willis Homes to construct the Community Advanced Practice Nurses facility, a health clinic providing physical, mental and preventive healthcare to homeless and economically disadvantaged Atlantans. Construction Resources generously provided sinks and countertops for this project.

A year later, in 2007, Construction Resources again partnered with HomeAid Atlanta on another project led by John Willis Homes. This project involved the renovation of a townhome for HomeStretch in Roswell, a program serving homeless families in the North Fulton area. Construction Resources was a key trade partner for the project, helping to successfully complete the renovation by providing cultured marble vanity tops, mirrors and wire shelving for the townhome unit.
 
The company also participated in a Cherokee County project in 2008 with HomeAid Atlanta and builder captain John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods. The project was for My House, a nonprofit organization operating a long term transitional home that provides a loving, safe and nurturing environment for homeless medically fragile infants.

Most recently, Construction Resources assisted HomeAid Atlanta with a duplex renovation in College Park for Tapestry Youth Ministries by providing new kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities. The newly renovated duplex will serve homeless young mothers and their babies.

Construction Resources will also participate in HomeAid Atlanta's newest project for Phoenix Pass in Conyers. For this project, HomeAid, in partnership with Manor Homes and Horizon Home Builders, is constructing an eight-unit apartment building and a community center which will serve homeless families, particularly single mothers with children. Construction Resources will be providing eco-friendly countertops for the project, which will be EarthCraft House certified.

In addition to showing continued support for transitional housing projects, Construction Resources and its staff have regularly contributed to HomeAid Atlanta's fundraising activities. Mitch and Sonny Hires of Construction Resources have participated in almost every Fairway to Haven Golf Classic hosted by HomeAid Atlanta by registering a foursome to play in the tournament. They have also provided services and products supporting Project Playhouse, in addition to volunteering their time to sell raffle tickets in the Playhouse Village.

“During these difficult times in the homebuilding industry, when many businesses are struggling, it is especially wonderful to see companies like Construction Resources donate their expertise and products to help create a safe and comfortable home for people in less fortunate situations and experiencing homelessness,” says HomeAid Atlanta Executive Director Ann Carey. “The number of homeless families is growing and the demand for supportive, transitional housing is increasing as these families try to regain their independence and self-sufficiency. Construction Resources is making a difference in many lives with their desire to positively impact the community through their support of HomeAid Atlanta and the development of transitional housing.”

“We have always felt like HomeAid was a worthwhile charity,” says Mitch Hires of Construction Resources. “HomeAid represents the caring side of the homebuilding industry and reflects positively on the industry as a whole as well as the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, and we truly enjoy participating in the great work that they're doing to make a difference to local families in need.”
