America's Most Trusted^® Home Builder built this year's charity home

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Taylor Morrison, America's Most Trusted^® Home Builder, and the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin (HBA) today announced the completion of the HBA Benefit Home located in the Taylor Morrison Travisso community. Taylor Morrison donated the residential lot and built the charity home. The proceeds of the sale will benefit the HBA, and the HBA will donate half of the funds to HomeAid Austin, a local non-profit providing supportive housing and services for the at risk and unhoused population.

The HBA Benefit Home is the annual construction of a home built mostly – if not entirely – through donations of construction management, materials, supplies, labor and financial support of the members of the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin. The Benefit Home offers the HBA a unique opportunity to give back to the larger community, specifically to designated beneficiaries who are significantly and positively impacting the Greater Austin community.

"Our team was truly inspired to sponsor and build this year's Benefit Home, as we are community-centric and strive to create lasting impressions on our neighbors," said Taylor Morrison Austin Division President, April Whitaker. "We are thankful for the opportunity to continue our philanthropic work with the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin and look forward to seeing how the proceeds bring projects to fruition for HomeAid Austin."

Since the construction of the first Benefit Home in 1991, the HBA of Greater Austin and its members have raised over $2.7 million for local charities through this program.

"For over three decades, the Benefit Home has played a significant role in giving back to the community and it wouldn't be possible without support from the sponsors and members of the HBA," said Home Builders Association of Greater Austin CEO, Taylor Jackson. "Taylor Morrison continues to positively impact the local community through its philanthropy, and we could not be more grateful for their contribution as this year's sponsor and builder."
