NEW YORK, May 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mutual of America Financial Group recognized HomeAid® America's HomeAid® WORKS program as an Honorable Mention recipient of its 2021 Community Partnership Award during a special event on May 10 at Mutual of America's headquarters in New York City.
HomeAid America received $50,000, as one of five nonprofit organizations selected for their outstanding contributions to society, in partnership with public, private and other social sector organizations.
A leading nonprofit developer of housing and programmatic facilities, HomeAid America's mission is to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness build new lives through construction, community engagement and education. Launched in 2019, HomeAid WORKS is a workforce development program designed to address the need for more housing solutions and better-trained construction workers by linking job training and education with a pathway to secure, high-paying jobs in construction.
"HomeAid WORKS offers a road map to a better future for some of our country's most vulnerable individuals," said Scott Larson, CEO of HomeAid America. "In addition to Colorado, Portland and Los Angeles, two more affiliates have joined us, replicating the program in Houston and San Diego. With potential expansion to Austin and other affiliates across the nation, HomeAid WORKS is inspiring individuals from all walks of life to break the cycle of homelessness in America."
John R. Greed, Chairman, President and CEO of Mutual of America Financial Group, said of the award winners, "The 2021 award-winning programs have created innovative solutions that address the challenging social, emotional and physical issues faced by many individuals and families in their local communities.
