PulteGroup Breaks Ground on New Mortgage-Free Home for U.S. Army Veteran in Ohio
Event marks first Built to Honor® home built for a deserving veteran in the Cleveland area
From getting the surprise of a lifetime to seeing shovels in the ground, U.S. Army Sergeant Dylan Hale and his family are one step closer to having a home they can call their own through PulteGroup’s Built to Honor® program. The Hale family, along with local officials and PulteGroup employees, took part in a special groundbreaking ceremony for the family’s new, mortgage-free home in Columbia Station, Ohio on April 17, 2024.
In March, Sergeant Hale was surprised with the news that he was selected to receive a newly built, mortgage-free Pulte Home through Built to Honor, which provides the gift of a new home to wounded veterans and their families across the country. PulteGroup will construct a home that meets the Hale family’s specific needs and desires. The new 2,337 square foot single-family home will be located at Pulte Homes’ Emerald Woods community in Columbia Township. The community offers over 140 acres of common areas, including open green space, neighborhood sidewalks, water features and wooded views. Sergeant Hale and his family’s new home is scheduled to be completed in late summer 2024.
PulteGroup is proud to partner with Operation Homefront, a national non-profit organization devoted to bringing renewed hope and service to injured veterans, to help build the Hale family’s home. This will be the first home awarded in the Cleveland area through the Built to Honor program, which was launched in 2013 to recognize and thank returning military personnel who have been injured during their term of service.
