Stanley Martin Homes is excited to announce that they have once again teamed up with HomeAid Northern Virginia to build a 5,000 square foot residential facility designed to provide respite housing for pregnant teens, young mothers, homeless and runaway youth, and survivors of sex trafficking.
The new Youth for Tomorrow house in Bristow, Virginia will provide safe and secure housing for many at-risk youth in the northern VA community.
"Construction of this home in Bristow, Virginia has been made possible through the generosity of an invested community," said Dr. Gary Jones, CEO of Youth For Tomorrow. "Nearly 70 percent of the materials and labor costs have been donated by Stanley Martin Homes and the many suppliers and manufacturers, which make up their Trades' Council. Savings like this only open more doors to Youth For Tomorrow (YFT) services and programs that make a lasting difference in the lives of young people."
For nearly three decades, Youth For Tomorrow has provided residential, educational and counseling services to children, adolescents and families in need. YFT's residential treatment services provide struggling and at-risk youth with a solid, supportive foundation so that they are able to focus on developing the confidence, skills, intellectual ability, spiritual insight and moral integrity necessary to thrive.
"Stanley Martin Homes prides itself on a varied history of philanthropic efforts in the Washington D.C. metro area, and we're thrilled to continue to support the efforts of HomeAid and Youth For Tomorrow," said Steve Alloy, President of Stanley Martin Homes and a founding member of HomeAid Northern Virginia.
HomeAid Northern Virginia leverages the resources of the homebuilding community to undertake new construction and major renovations to properties that help transitionally homeless individuals gain stability and get back on the road to self-sufficiency. HomeAid Northern Virginia has served more than 71,000 homeless individuals since its founding in 2001.
Construction is complete, and Stanley Martin Homes expects to deliver the new, furnished Youth for Tomorrow home to the organization in November.
