Granville starts Home of Hope

 Granville Homes, in conjunction with eight local non-profits and local dignitaries, broke ground today on its ninth annual Granville Home of Hope. “The Granville Home of Hope is a symbol of the basic needs of the underserved segments of our community,” said Darius Assemi, Granville Homes’ president, in a release. “We applaud the work of the eight outstanding nonprofits who provide food, shelter, health care, education and therefore hope to the underserved in our community.” Assemi said that with Fresno County‘s poverty level at almost 25 percent, there is a great sense of urgency to fill the monetary gaps the organizations have. Since 2006, the Granville Home of Hope foundation has raised more than $2.7 million dollars for eight Central Valley nonprofits by raffling off a home. The 2014 Home of Hope beneficiaries, including Community Food Bank, Poverello House, Hinds Hospice, Assistance League, Renaissance Scholars at Fresno State and the foundations for Clovis, Sanger, and Central Schools, work together to provide food, shelter, education and healthcare for those in need. "Through the generosity of Granville Homes and its partners who join in the Home of Hope program, the Community Food Bank has been able to acquire enough food to provide almost 7 million meals to hungry families throughout our valley,” said Community Food Bank President and CEO, Andy Souza. This year Granville will raffle off a 1,301 square-foot Cottage one-floor plan home located in the Copper River Ranch community. The home, which is in the Clovis Unified School District, features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, granite countertops, a full alarm system, wood plank tile floors and Granville Eco-Smart technology. Unlike past years, this year there will be a cap on the number of tickets sold. There will be a total of 5,000 — $100 tickets – available for purchase and the grand-prize winner will have the option to choose the home or $100,000 cash.
