Building homes for those who served
Lake Norman Home Builders Association members are teaming up with Purple Heart Homes to help local veterans with the work our members do every day: roofs, baths, HVAC and ramps.
A partnership built on what our members already do
Purple Heart Homes helps veterans with home repairs, accessibility projects like ramps and baths, and a homeownership program. Most of that work falls squarely in the trades LNHBA builders and trade partners practice every day, and our members are right here around Statesville.
In 2018, Purple Heart Homes went to NAHB’s International Builders’ Show looking for home builders association contractor partners. This partnership connects LNHBA members with local Purple Heart Homes projects so the right trades can step in when a veteran needs help.
What is the Purple Alert?
The Purple Alert is LNHBA’s call list for Purple Heart Homes projects. When a local veteran’s project needs roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, carpentry or other skills, members on the list get an alert.
