Home Renovations - View the video shown at the benefit dinner
2009 was a big year for the Philadelphia and Coraopolis transitional homes that are owned and operated by Housing for Homeless Veterans.
The Philadelphia home was up for a HGTV Change the World America’s Heroes contest. Our Philadelphia home went up against seven other veteran homeless shelters across the United States and we won. Monica Pedersen and Carter Oosterhouse of HGTV created the home makeover. HGTV aired the makeover on Veterans Day.

The Coraopolis home also received a makeover in 2009. Congressman Tim Murphy worked with Wyatt Incorporated to volunteer man hours and all the equipment necessary to renovate 4 kitchens.
And lastly, On September 26, 2009 Jordan Hrinya accomplished her Gold Award for the Girl Scouts of America by working in one of the living rooms at the Coraopolis home.
