PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2026 / HomeAid America, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending homelessness in the United States, today announced that Toll Brothers, the nation's leading builder of luxury homes, honored HomeAid for the second consecutive year at its 32nd Annual Gala held this past May at the historic Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia. Combined with other fundraising efforts held by Toll Brothers divisions across the country, the Company donated a total of over $1.6 million to support HomeAid's mission of helping individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness rebuild their lives through construction, community engagement, and education.
The highly anticipated event brought together Toll Brothers employees, HomeAid staff, national partners, community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters from across the country to celebrate the power of partnership and the building industry's commitment to giving back. The evening featured an inspiring program, a moving video presentation, a live auction, and a "Mission Moment" paddle raise benefiting HomeAid's work nationwide.
"The generosity demonstrated by Toll Brothers, its employees, trade partners, suppliers, and supporters across the country is truly extraordinary. These funds will do far more than build housing; they will create opportunities for healing, stability, and renewed hope for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Together, we are strengthening communities, expanding HomeAid's impact including a new affiliate in the Delaware Valley, and building a future where more people have the opportunity to rebuild their lives," said Scott Larson, HomeAid America Chief Executive Officer.
Over the past 37 years, HomeAid and its affiliates have partnered with builders, trade partners, suppliers, and service providers to complete nearly 1,600 housing and community engagement projects. Together, these efforts have provided more than 17,700 beds and served nearly 1.5 million individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness across the United States.
Funds raised through the Gala and HomeAid's affiliate fundraising initiatives will directly support the construction and renovation of safe, dignified housing, outreach programs, and educational initiatives in communities throughout the country.
"Our ability to support HomeAid's mission in such a meaningful way is a direct result of the dedication of our employees, partners, and vendors and the daily work we do in the homebuilding industry," said Karl K. Mistry, Chief Executive Officer of Toll Brothers. "What we achieved through this fundraising campaign is truly remarkable and reflects the very best of Toll Brothers."
The success of this year's fundraising efforts reflects the strength of HomeAid's national network and the generosity of the building industry. Through collaborative partnerships and a shared commitment to creating lasting solutions, HomeAid continues to expand its impact and help build a future without homelessness.
