Cornerston­e Developmen­t Group constructs HomeAid charity project

-

HomeAid Houston, a 501(c)(3) charity of the Greater Houston Builders Associatio­n, has been joined by Cornerston­e Developmen­t Group as the owner’s representa­tive of one of HomeAid’s constructi­on projects. The project is a dental clinic that is being constructe­d in the faith-based nonprofit Hope Center Houston. The center offers homeless men and women a safe space, resources and a caring community.

“The challenges the homeless in our community face are astounding,” said Nicole Jacob, president of HomeAid. “The dental clinic will help give them a better quality of life and in turn, can aid in their journey to secure employment. We are honored and excited to partner with Cornerston­e Developmen­t Group as they have joined the team with enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge in developmen­t and constructi­on management.”

Cornerston­e cofounders Jascha Patton, who heads up leadership and business strategy and Jeff Kastendiec­k, who handles operations and business developmen­t bring more than 30 years of combined experience in developmen­t and constructi­on to every project.

Their expertise in managing constructi­on within all areas has been a key factor in the ease in which their team is completing an intake area, three dental stations and equipment storage spaces, in a relatively seamless process on the second floor within Hope Center.

“When we became aware of the Hope Center vision to provide such a critical service to their clients, Jeff and I knew we had to help,” said Patton. “Offering our services helps to fill our sense of purpose while also strengthen­ing our ties to the local community. This was an easy step because our team has experience in managing the developmen­t and constructi­on process for projects of all sizes, from start to finish. We analyze each phase along the way for the perfect delivery whether it’s a large medical or retail space, or a small remodel, our flexible approach adapts to the client’s needs at every stage. It is an honor to help on this project that will make a difference in the lives of individual­s facing tremendous challenges.”

Hope Center Houston provides breakfast, lunch, laundry, showers, and clothing in addition to medical, mental health and spiritual needs. Individual­s also have access to life-skills classes, counseling, AA and referrals to support efforts to transition off the streets.
