Lord continued, “We selected this area in South Florida as it has a significant veteran population. The 2023 recipient of the Meritage home will be selected by Operation Homefront and presented the keys at a ceremony in November ahead of Veterans Day. The Permanent Homes for Veterans program has provided more than 700 military families with mortgage-free homes, totaling over $102 million in home equity since 2012. “Meritage Homes’ enthusiastic support of our highly regarded housing programs brings our mission to life and allows us to give our military families the opportunity to thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities-OUR communities-that they have worked so hard to protect.” Pray, Jr., president and CEO of Operation Homefront. “As we take time to remember and honor those who gave their lives in the defense of our great nation, I feel we need to recognize those, like Meritage Homes, for all they have done over the past 10 years to help us help our military families in their time of need,” said retired Brig. The house will be outfitted with a smart home suite that allows the homeowner to set the thermostat and control security devices from a convenient app. The home will offer a modern, open-concept floorplan with designer-curated interiors and energy-efficiency features, including a multispeed HVAC system, spray-foam insulation, and WaterSense certified water fixtures. The nearly 2,000 square foot home will be located in the Crescent Lakes community in Babcock Ranch, Florida, which is the first fully solar-powered town in the U.S. The work we do with Operation Homefront is especially meaningful to us given the many veterans who work at Meritage and understand first-hand the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life.”Įarlier this month, Meritage hosted an event to celebrate the groundbreaking of the home. “We recognize the sacrifice that military members and their families make and are proud to welcome them into a home they can call their own. “We are honored to support the Permanent Homes for Veterans program for a tenth year,” said Phillippe Lord, CEO of Meritage Homes. By the end of 2023, Meritage will have donated a total of 18 homes as part of the program.
