Homestretch was adopted by CASE Design the premier remodeling company on the metropolitan DC region.  In August of 2009, members of CASE Design installed five new kitchens in Homestretch apartments, and installed another five new kitchens in Homestretch apartments in early March 2010.  What an amazing gift to our families!

The nation’s top Public Relations firm, Edelman, has also adopted Homestretch for 2010, and will be instrumental in helping Homestretch make the most of our 20th Anniversary Gala in October.  Edelman is also helping Homestretch clients to learn how to prepare resumes, interview for jobs, and in general, how to find and keep jobs.  Thank you, Edelman!

We are extremely proud to have established a partnership with Excella Consulting. Last year, almost 50 Excella employees came to Homestretch, along with several staff members from Greater DC Cares, which helped plan the event, and undertook a series of projects in service to Homestretch and our families. For example, one team landscaped several of our town houses, while another team cleaned gutters and dug out an old dead tree stump. Meanwhile, another team painted the rooms in which we hold our Life Skills classes, and still another team sorted though the warehouse where we store donated furniture and when they were done, the room was organized and tidy and space was cleared for new donations. They accomplished all of this in only four hours – as a matter of fact, most of the teams were done early! Excella also had an art contest among our children to select a  holiday card for the company, which was great fun for our children.
