HomeAid Inland Empire

HomeAid is a leading national non-profit that provides housing for homeless families and individuals, more than one million of whom are children, while they rebuild their lives. Founded in 1989 by the Orange County chapter of the Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIA/SC), HomeAid has expanded throughout the country to 22 chapters in 16 states and two national offices; Augusta, GA and Newport Beach, CA (headquarters).

HomeAid builds multi-unit shelters for homeless families and individuals, and then donates it to charities such as Boys Hope Girls Hope, Mercy House, Salvation Army, Volunteers of America, YMCA, and others. HomeAid’s efforts have resulted in providing housing for more than 100,000 individuals who have been rendered temporarily homeless due to circumstances beyond their control, such as job loss, natural disasters and other catastrophes, illness and medical problems, domestic violence, etc. With the help of America's builders, their trade partners, financial institutions, and the public, HomeAid has built more than 192 multi-unit shelters with an additional 37 in development. These shelters provide more than 4,652 beds per night nationwide. Each bed serves an average of three people each year.

The first HomeAid project in the Inland Empire was in May 1990 and steadily progressed since then with twelve housing projects completed in the Inland Empire to date.
