HomeAid America, one of the nation’s largest providers of housing and resources for the 3.5 million Americans who experience homelessness every year, was a beneficiary of the generosity of Meyers Research | Metrostudy, one of its top national partners and leading market research firms, at the Meyers Research | Metrostudy National Housing Outlook that was held in Newport Beach on June 20th.
The building industry event with over 200 in attendance featured a Builder Panel moderated by Tim Sullivan, Managing Principal at Meyers Research, that included Sheryl Palmer, Chairman & CEO at Taylor Morrison (and HomeAid America Chair for 2019-20), Adrian Foley, President & COO at Brookfield Residential and Bert Selva, President & CEO of Shea Homes.

Meyers Research has been holding housing forecast events to benefit HomeAid America across the country for the past five years.
Support from Meyers Research continues at a pivotal time as HomeAid celebrates its 30th anniversary and the success of completing over 550 projects that have housed 330,000 people who would have otherwise been homeless.

HomeAid’s program identifies charities working to help the homeless that are in need of additional facilities in which to house people. HomeAid’s builder captains and their partners and suppliers take on these projects, completing them at a deep discount through the in-kind donation of their time and materials. Through the HomeAid model, more than $245 million of housing has been developed with a cost savings of over $120 million. These cost-savings are reinvesting into life-changing programs such as job and life skills training, financial counseling, and physical and emotional support needed to get back on their feet.
Proceeds were generated by ticket sales and sponsorships by Brookfield Residential, EY, The Resmark Companies, Umpqua Bank, Housing Capital Company, a subsidiary of U.S. Bank, Bassenian Lagoni and BrightView.
