Home Matters® Launches New Initiatives - November 21, 2014

SILICON VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Matters®, the national movement focused on raising awareness and funds to make Home a reality for all, today launched two core initiatives at the Social Innovation Summit: a digital campaign and a national design challenge. Developed to educate the public about the national housing crisis, these programs are supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and Wells Fargo Foundation, and aim to spark a national dialogue around possible solutions.

"Home is not just about having four walls and a roof over our heads, it's about the environment around us that affects the choices we make in life and who we become," explains Dave Brown, CEO of Home Matters. "Home Matters exists to raise funds and build awareness of the need for more affordable homes and better communities in pursuit of a New American Dream—an ideal that reflects new and changing American values.  Since the Social Innovation Summit is known as a forum to discuss fresh ideas, the conference is an ideal launch pad for Home Matters to share its new approach to an unsolved social problem in America."
