Atlanta-based PulteGroup Honors Veterans with Three New Mortgage-Free Homes
Leading into Veterans Day, PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM) is announcing three home dedication ceremonies through its Built to Honor® program. These ceremonies bring the company closer to its milestone of awarding 100 mortgage-free homes to wounded veterans and their families over the past decade-plus.
The three dedication ceremonies, taking place Nov. 11-14, will honor veterans whose combined service spans more than four decades and includes multiple combat deployments, numerous valor awards and significant sacrifices for our nation.
“At PulteGroup, we believe the best way to show our gratitude to those who served our country is by doing what we do best, which is building homes that change lives,” said Ryan Marshall, PulteGroup President and CEO. “As we approach our 100th Built to Honor home, each dedication represents not just a house, but a new beginning for heroes who have sacrificed so much. These mortgage-free homes provide the foundation for these veterans and their families to build their futures.”
The upcoming dedication ceremonies will honor:
- Army Specialist Christopher Irving, a Purple Heart recipient and decorated veteran, will be honored at a dedication ceremony by PulteGroup’s Dallas Division at the Pecan Square community in Northlake, Texas on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11.
- Army veteran Jacob Schanck completed five overseas deployments throughout his nearly 20-year military career. PulteGroup’s Charlotte Division will welcome him and his family home to the Element Park community in Charlotte, NC on Nov. 13.
- Sergeant Major William “Shane” Stockard, whose distinguished 25-year Army career includes four Bronze Star Medals and service across multiple deployments, will join PulteGroup’s Coastal Carolinas Division for a home dedication ceremony at the Grand Arbor community in Blythewood, SC, on Nov. 14.
“Dedicating a Built to Honor home is one of the most rewarding moments we experience here at PulteGroup,” said Charlie Tipton, PulteGroup’s Central Area President. “When a deserving veteran receives their keys, they gain the opportunity to focus on their recovery, families, and futures without worrying about a monthly payment. We are so thankful to these veterans for their sacrifices and service to our country, and also grateful to our employees and trade partners for making the dream of homeownership possible.”
Launched in 2013, the Built to Honor program has delivered 92 homes nationwide, representing over $35 million in value. The program is on track to deliver its 100th home in 2025, marking a significant milestone in PulteGroup’s commitment to veteran support.
