HomeAid America, one of the nation’s largest builders of housing for the homeless, said Monday that CalAtlantic Homes’ Executive Chairman and industry leader Scott Stowell will serve as chairman of its board of directors for 2017-18.
“We are thrilled to have someone of Scott’s stature and passion leading our efforts for the next two years,” said Peter Simons, CEO of HomeAid America. “We completed 30 new projects across the country last year which added nearly 500 beds for the homeless. We also conducted nearly 100 community outreach activities that involved over 1,800 volunteers. I am certain that with Scott’s commitment to our cause and his position of respect and influence in the industry, it will allow us to reach new levels in the coming year.”
Said Stowell, “HomeAid has a proven model and track record in this area, and our work is needed now more than ever with several major cities experiencing homelessness crises.”
Stowell is the executive chairman of the board for CalAtlantic Group, one of the nation’s largest publicly traded home builders. Stowell was instrumental in the creation of CalAtlantic through the merger of Standard Pacific Homes and Ryland Homes in 2015. Prior to that, he held various roles at Standard Pacific for almost three decades, culminating with his appointment as CEO and President in January 2012. Stowell is also active in numerous other industry related organizations such as the Leading Builders of America, the Fisher Center for Real Estate at UC Berkeley, and the Harvard Center for Joint Housing Studies.
