Extreme Makeover: Home Edition takes the biggest home renovation show to ever exist, adds Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit as hosts, and creates the ultimate home makeover experience. Like the original, the upcoming series will showcase heartwarming stories and mind-blowing builds for families who give back to their communities.

"Philanthropy runs through our veins as an organization, and the Houston team could not be more inspired to bring the community together during the build process," said Todd Rasmussen, Houston Division President at Taylor Morrison. "Building dream homes is what we do every day at Taylor Morrison, so it's a natural fit for us to do just that for a local family as part of this iconic show."

The Houston episode will film Saturday, Aug. 17, through Friday, Aug. 23, where Taylor Morrison, the homebuilder's local and national trade partners, and 2,000 volunteers will be involved in an around-the-clock operation to build a new home from the ground-up in under seven days. Volunteer and donation opportunities are available to the public. Volunteers must be 18 years or older as of Aug. 17, 2024.

"Filming the pilot episode with Taylor Morrison as our builder partner made for such a wonderful experience for everyone, from the deserving family we supported, to production, to volunteers, that we knew we wouldn't want to embark on this journey with any other homebuilder," said Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit.

Upon completion, the deserving families will be welcomed into thoughtfully designed homes built by Taylor Morrison, finished with organized spaces complimentary of The Home Edit, creating stress-free and memorable move-ins.

Taylor Morrison has an existing partnership with The Home Edit, a part of Hello Sunshine, which is a division of Candle Media, that began in 2023 when the homebuilder and home-organization company teamed up to reduce the stress known for accompanying a move, all while adding some fun and function into the process. Curated organization tips centered around a move are featured in the New Home, New Zones video series, and extensions of the partnership are underway to bring The Home Edit's organizational products and services directly into Taylor Morrison homes.
