We’re Committed to Helping Veterans

Without our veterans, we wouldn’t have the freedom to build. It’s why we remain so committed to giving back.

Giving back to those who give so much.

Since 2013, we’re partnered with Operation Homefront to donate 13 brand new, mortgage-free homes to deserving veterans across the country. This year, we’ll donate our 14th in Tampa, Florida.

Operation Homefront selects the recipient for the new home to be donated through its Homes on the Homefront (HOTH) program. Families in the HOTH program work directly with Operation Homefront caseworkers and financial counselors for 1-3 years to learn how to be successful homeowners.

From the Ground Up.

We’ve started construction on the home to be donated later this year. Check out the photos below. We’ll add more as it’s built.

  • We are so proud to break ground on the home to be donated in November.

  • A long-standing tradition that never gets old – Meritage employees wrote heartfelt messages on the frame of the to-be-donated home.

Take a look back at our 2019 donation.

On November 7, 2019, Marine Cpl. Shandrika Shreves, Sgt. Juval Shreves, and their two children, were handed the keys to their new home in Atlanta.

“Home ownership is something me and my husband always dreamed of having and it’s so amazing to not only have a house but to have a brand-new home given to you,” she said. “…We get to go to sleep without suffering, and struggling, and contemplating. It’s such a big deal. We really appreciate that gift. It just doesn’t feel real to me. I tell my husband ‘pinch me.’ This is really happening.”
