Beazer Homes Gives to HomeAid Through Dream Home Dollar Days
ATLANTA, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A dream home is not
always spending $5 million for a 5,000 square foot lakeside villa
complete with a pool, spa, theater and gym. According to a recent
national survey conducted by Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE:BZH) (
http://www.beazer.com/ ), 61 percent of those polled identified
their dream home priced on average in the $200,000's and ranked the
suburbs as their second dream home location after the beach.
Furthermore, the survey confirmed that kitchen features and
upgrades are the most important considerations in creating a dream
home. More specifically, the 542 women surveyed, ages 21 to 44
planning to purchase a home in the next two years, identified
upgrades in the master suite and the addition of energy efficient
upgrades as the most desired features after the kitchen. "While
location, cost and size will always be factors, this survey
suggests other elements like feature upgrades and options are
playing a more significant role these days in a consumer's home
buying process," said Kimberly Whitler, Chief Marketing Officer for
Beazer Homes. "By having a clear understanding of what buyers are
really looking for, we can be sure to incorporate those elements
most important to their dream homes." To encourage buyers to pursue
their dream home, Beazer Homes is offering $1 specials in select
communities nationwide during Dream Home Dollar Days(1), which
takes place Feb. 9-11 only. More important, Dream Home Dollar Days
will support HomeAid, the nation's largest provider of transitional
housing for the temporarily homeless with 138 completed shelters.
"For ten years, Beazer Homes has maintained an unsurpassed
commitment to partnering with HomeAid in our efforts to provide
temporary, dignified homes where people live while they learn job
and life skills that enable them to take back their lives," said
Genette Eaton, HomeAid CEO. "From serving on our national and local
boards to building projects for our local chapters, Beazer Homes
constantly looks for innovative ways to support HomeAid, and Dream
Home Dollar Days is another terrific example of its continued drive
to help us." HomeAid will receive $25 for every visitor to a Beazer
Homes' community during Dream Home Dollar Days for shelter projects
that help thousands of men, women and children who find themselves
temporarily homeless(2). As HomeAid's first corporate builder
sponsor, Beazer Homes has supported 14 shelter projects through
financial contributions, fundraising efforts, employee and trade
partner volunteerism, and builder expertise since 1997. "Our decade
of involvement with HomeAid has been a perfect platform for giving
back to the communities with which we do business throughout the
country," said Ian J. McCarthy, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Beazer Homes, and co-chairman and member of the National
Board of Directors for HomeAid. "We are fortunate to be affiliated
with a stellar organization, who -- with its partners -- has
actively responded to the stark reality that thousands of men,
women and children, due to unforeseen circumstances, are left or at
risk of becoming temporarily homeless. We, as a company, are proud
to share our resources with those in need and will continue to join
our hands and hearts building hope with HomeAid." In addition to
McCarthy's role with HomeAid, Beazer Homes' involvement carries
throughout the HomeAid organization. Many Beazer Homes divisions
are proactively engaged with local HomeAid chapters through
membership on advisory boards and involvement on shelter projects.
To date, Beazer Homes has completed housing projects in the
following locations: Dallas, TX; Orange County, CA; Riverside, CA;
Sacramento, CA; Northern Virginia; Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA;
Houston, TX; and Colorado Springs, CO. In total, the company has
helped HomeAid add more than 400 beds nationwide through a total
project contribution valued at nearly $11 million. About HomeAid
