Operation Homefront Veteran Family Announced

Meritage Homes Corporation and Operation Homefront recently announced that the Shreves family, a dual-military family, has been selected to enter the Homes on the Homefront (HOTH) program and will receive the keys to a brand new, energy-efficient home in Canton. The family will be welcomed into the home on November 7, just in time for Veterans Day.

As part of the HOTH program, U.S. Marine veterans Shandrika and Juval Shreves and their two children will move into the 1,933-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. The family will work directly with housing caseworkers and financial counselors to prepare for home ownership, build up their savings, and reduce debt. Upon successful completion of the program, the family will graduate and receive the deed to the home, mortgage-free, providing them with long-term stability and a newfound sense of community involvement.
Both Shandrika and Juval Shreves are U.S. Marine veterans. After enlisting in 2008, they helped train Marines who were headed to Afghanistan and conducted weapons testing. They eventually left the service to pursue careers in health sciences and serve their community. After four years of serving in the Marines and 10 years of marriage, the Shreves family is eager to establish roots in Canton.  

Since Operation Homefronts HOTH program began in 2012, nearly 575 families have been deeded their home, mortgage-free. Operation Homefront has provided more than $80 million in home equity to military families. The homes are donated by corporate partners.
