HomeAid completes The Family Place project

HomeAid/Home Builders Care, the official charity of the HBA, has completed a $900,000 expansion project for The Family Place, Dallas’ largest organization serving victims of family violence.

KWA Construction, L.P. served as Builder Captain for the project. Harben House, a facility with three three-bedroom and one four-bedroom transitional housing apartments and counseling offices, as well as a multi-purpose facility to be used for educational opportunities, group activities and wellness programming was dedicated May 14.

The expansion project was made possible by donors to The Family Place’s capital campaign which began in 2008. Those donors include: The H. George and Gayle Harben Schuler foundation, The Simmons Family Foundation, The Mabel Peters Caruth Foundation, Preston and Georgia Phillips Foundation, Hoblitzelle Foundation, The Florence Foundation, The James and Lillian Webb Foundation, Courtney Rainwater and the Dallas Stars Foundation.

“The incredible generosity of our supporters who understand the mission of The Family Place made this project possible,” said Paige Flink, executive director of The Family Place. “We will be able to serve larger families who are homeless due to family violence, allowing a fresh start in a safe environment, the ability to enhance their work and parenting skills and receive counseling to cope with the trauma of enduring family violence.”

A resident of The Family Place told those attending the dedication that she had arrived at the shelter with little more than her 3-year-old twins and $5. “I have been so grateful for this clean, safe place full of opportunity,” she said. “You are changing lives.”
