HomeVestors Contributes $20,000 to “Beautiful” Program
HomeVestors® recently presented a $20,000 donation to Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity, marking a meaningful moment of community support tied to its annual “Ugliest House Of The Year®” competition. The contribution was made in honor of a Boise property that won the 2025 edition of the nationwide contest, which celebrates the most dramatic home transformations completed by HomeVestors franchisees across the United States.
The winning project was led by Paul and Tanice Myers, a husband-and-wife team who claimed the top spot in the 19th annual competition. Their work stood out for its striking before-and-after transformation, reflecting not only technical expertise but also a deep commitment to revitalizing homes and neighborhoods. Over the years, the Myers and their team of eight have renovated more than 500 properties, consistently turning neglected houses into livable, attractive homes while building strong relationships with homeowners and local communities.
The donation to Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity underscores HomeVestors’ broader mission of supporting housing accessibility and community development. The nonprofit organization works closely with local communities to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing for families in need, while also promoting responsible homeownership. By partnering with Habitat for Humanity chapters, HomeVestors extends its impact beyond property renovation into long-term community building.
The check presentation took place at an active Women Build project in Boise, adding further significance to the event. Women Build is a Habitat for Humanity initiative that encourages women to take a leading role in fundraising and construction efforts. Through this program, women from various backgrounds—including friends, colleagues, and community members—form teams to raise funds and contribute hands-on labor to build homes for families in need.
The event brought together volunteers, community leaders, and supporters who gathered to celebrate the donation and its impact. Many Women Build participants were present, highlighting the collaborative spirit that drives both organizations’ efforts. The setting also emphasized the importance of inclusivity and empowerment in addressing housing challenges, particularly through initiatives that support women’s involvement in construction and community development.
Janessa Chastain, Chief Executive Officer of Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity, expressed appreciation for the partnership and the collective effort behind the initiative. She noted that the success of such projects depends on the dedication and enthusiasm of many individuals working toward a shared goal.
“It meant a lot to feel the enthusiasm and care HomeVestors brought to this project,” Chastain said. “Events like this don’t come together without a whole team of people willing to go above and beyond. It was clear every step of the way how invested everyone was in making a difference in our community.”
The alignment between the competition’s outcome and the Women Build initiative added an extra layer of meaning to this year’s event. Tanice Myers, as a female business owner and co-winner of the competition, represents the growing role of women in real estate investment and construction. Her success helped draw attention to the contributions of women in these traditionally male-dominated industries.
Joshua Waltzer, Chief Executive Officer of HomeVestors, highlighted this connection, noting that the 2025 competition outcome provided a unique opportunity to spotlight both community impact and women’s leadership.
“The stars aligned beautifully this year with a women-owned business winning The Ugliest House Of The Year competition, which also helped bring attention to the Women Build initiative,” Waltzer said. “This is the fifth year we have partnered with a local Habitat for Humanity chapter to donate in honor of the annual winner, and we couldn’t be happier with how our two missions have aligned as we both work towards a shared vision of a world where everyone has a decent and affordable place to live.”
The partnership between HomeVestors and Habitat for Humanity reflects a shared commitment to addressing housing challenges through both direct action and community engagement. While HomeVestors focuses on purchasing and renovating distressed properties, Habitat for Humanity works to create new housing opportunities for underserved families. Together, these efforts contribute to stronger, more sustainable communities.
This year’s donation also coincides with a major milestone for HomeVestors, as the company celebrates its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1996, HomeVestors played a pioneering role in shaping the modern real estate investment industry, particularly in the area of home renovation and “house flipping.” Through its well-known “We Buy Ugly Houses®” brand, the company has expanded its operations to 47 states, helping to transform thousands of properties and revitalize neighborhoods across the country.
Over the past three decades, HomeVestors has built a reputation not only for its business model but also for its commitment to community impact. Initiatives like the annual donation tied to the “Ugliest House Of The Year®” competition demonstrate how the company leverages its platform to support broader social goals, particularly in the area of housing affordability.
The dual celebration of the competition win and the donation during Women’s History Month further underscores the importance of diversity and inclusion in the housing and construction sectors. By recognizing the achievements of women like Tanice Myers and supporting programs like Women Build, HomeVestors continues to promote opportunities for women in real estate and community development.
As housing affordability remains a pressing issue in many parts of the United States, partnerships like this highlight the value of collaboration between private companies and nonprofit organizations. The $20,000 donation to Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity not only honors a successful renovation project but also contributes to the ongoing effort to ensure that more families have access to safe and affordable homes.
Through initiatives that combine business success with community support, HomeVestors and its partners are helping to create lasting positive change—one home, and one neighborhood, at a time.
