NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeAid America announced today that loanDepot LLC, America's consumer lender, has donated $100,000 to the organization. HomeAid is a leading national nonprofit organization providing housing to organizations that help the homeless across the country.
As part of loanDepot's $100,000 donation to HomeAid America, $10,000 will be allocated to HomeAid Orange County, the organization's chapter in Orange County, Calif., which helps to end homelessness locally, and $10,000 will be allocated towards a sponsorship of the Meyers Research Economic Outlook event in Orange County in March, 2016.
"Helping Americans realize their own American dreams through homeownership is important and we're extremely proud to support HomeAid America in its mission to build new lives for America's homeless families and individuals." said David Norris, president and chief operating officer of loanDepot LLC.
HomeAid, a building industry-based charity with chapters in 16 markets across the country, has built more than 400 multi-unit housing projects in its 26 year history and helped house over 220,000 previously-homeless Americans.
"This very generous donation of $100,000 will help HomeAid expand its reach to help more homeless families and individuals find a place to live and thereby reclaim their self-sufficiency," said Peter Simons, chief executive officer of HomeAid America. "loanDepot's ongoing support through their imortgage division has been instrumental to HomeAid for years. Dan Hanson, executive vice president at imortgage, has been a valuable member of our Board of Directors for more than 26 years. He is an original founder of HomeAid and has helped it grow from a local grassroots organization into a thriving national entity across the country."
