Meritage Homes Breaks Ground On Mortgage Free House

CANTON, GA — Meritage Homes Corporation, a leading U.S. homebuilder, has broken ground on a home for Operation Homefront at the Vistas at Towne Mill in Canton.

This is the 13th home Meritage has donated to Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit serving America’s military families. Together, Meritage and Operation Homefront will welcome a military family into a brand new, mortgage-free, and energy-efficient Meritage and help them learn how to become successful homeowners.

Founded in 2002, Operation Homefront is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so that they can thrive - not simply struggle to get by – in the communities they have worked so hard to protect. Recognized for superior performance by leading independent charity oversight groups, 92 percent of Operation Homefront expenditures go directly to programs that support tens of thousands of military families each year.

Operation Homefront provides critical financial assistance, transitional and permanent housing and family support services to prevent short-term needs from turning into chronic, long-term struggles. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the support from thousands of volunteers, Operation Homefront proudly serves America’s military families.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch home will be built in a LiVE.NOW community called The Vistas of Towne Mill. As with all Operation Homefront homes, it will include handicap accessible options such as wider doorways and zero entry showers. It will also include a two-car garage, private study/flex room, a covered outdoor living area, the M.Connected Home TM Automation Suite and an array of money-saving features.
