Homes 4 Families Launches $6 Million Fundraising Initiative to Build 32 Homes for Veterans in Los Angeles County
PALMDALE & NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA - March 12, 2025 - Homes 4 Families has launched a bold new fundraising initiative to raise $6 million to complete the construction of 32 affordable single-family homes in Palmdale and North Hollywood. This effort will provide Veterans and their families with the opportunity to achieve affordable homeownership along with critical wraparound supportive services to help them thrive.
The initiative was officially announced at this year's annual Builder's Ball, where over $300,000 in commitments were raised in just one night.
'Homes 4 Families is dedicated to ensuring that Veterans and their families have access to affordable homeownership and the resources they need to thrive,' said Carlos Gonzalez, CEO, Homes 4 Families. 'This $6 million campaign is a crucial step toward making that vision a reality for 32 deserving families.'
Thirty-six homes have already been completed in Palmdale since 2020 in this 'hand up, not a hand out' housing model, where veterans earn the affordable housing opportunity with sweat equity and participation in educational and enrichment programs proven to promote long-term success.
Your support will unlock over $1 million in committed grants from The Ahmanson Foundation and the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, which will be released only when key construction milestones are met. By making your donation by September 2025, you will help us reach these critical benchmarks and bring us closer to completing homes for Veteran families in need.
Homes 4 Families is calling on donors, investors, and grantors to help close the funding gap and ensure that these homes are completed. Every contribution brings us closer to giving Veteran families the stability and security of homeownership.
Join us today. Your support can make a life-changing impact. Visit www.homes4families.org/donate to support or learn more about how you can get involved.

US Soccer Federation establishes committee to recommend changes to college sport
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — The U.S. Soccer Federation on Tuesday established a committee tasked with recommending how the college game can be better integrated with the sport. Top college teams play about 18-25 games per season and the importance of college soccer to men's professional teams has lessened as more top talent goes through team academy systems and not college. The college game allows unlimited substitutions and for clock stoppages. Advertisement The USSF said the committee will produce a report with recommendations by the start of the 2025-26 academic year and is to suggest initiatives for possible implementation as early as 2026-27. 'College soccer is integral to the fabric and future of our sport in this country,' USSF CEO JT Batson said in a statement. 'The individuals joining this group bring unique perspectives and expertise that will help us build a model where college soccer can thrive in a modern, connected system — all working collaboratively in service to soccer.' Former Deloitte Consulting CEO Dan Helfrich will chair the committee, which includes former Major League Soccer president Mark Abbott, United Soccer League Championship president Jeremy Alumbaugh, Warner Bros. Discovery Sport executive Craig Barry, USSF technical development committee chair Mike Cullina, Davidson athletic director Chris Clunie, MLS executive Ali Curtis, Seattle Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer, former LA Galaxy president Chris Klein, Penn State athletic director Patrick Kraft, Kansas City Current co-owner Angie Long, agent Richard Motzkin, high-performance specialist Ryan Nelson, University of Maryland president Darryll Pines, NWSL executive Sarah Jones Simmer, Coca-Cola executive Amber Steele, Bank of America executive David Tyrie and Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack. ___ AP soccer:
