🤝 Partnering for Those Who Served: Supporting Atlanta’s Veterans and Neighbors

We are thrilled to announce a powerful partnership between Rebuilding Together, Brasfield & Gorrie , and Development Management, LLC!

🏢 Revitalizing American Legion Post 291
Since 2006, American Legion Post 291 has been a trusted gathering place and a cornerstone institution in SW Atlanta. Serving 237 veteran members and reaching nearly 4,800 veterans annually, the Post provides life-changing resources—from benefits workshops and housing assistance to grocery vouchers and fellowship. It is also a true community hub, welcoming 5,000 visitors each year, including local youth groups, seniors, and neighborhood associations.

The Impact: To ensure this 3,700-square-foot facility remains a safe, accessible, and dignified space, our teams and volunteers are executing major upgrades:

Safety & Accessibility: Installing new handrails, bathroom grab bars, and a brand-new exterior ramp and guardrail to reduce fall risks.

Facility Enhancements: Insulating ductwork for energy efficiency, building an interior storage closet, assembling organization cabinets, and installing bead-board to elevate the office space.

Exterior Refresh: Adding fresh landscaping, protective paint on the back ramp/shade structure, and parking-lot bollards for vehicle safety.

🏡 Honoring Lifelong Servants of the Community:
We are deeply honored to support Air Force Veteran and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Leath. For nearly 30 years, the Leaths have poured love into their Atlanta neighborhood, volunteering with Parks and Rec, supporting their church, and anchoring their community. Mr. Leath is also a proud member of American Legion Post 291!

💙 Thank You to Our Partners
A massive thank you to Brasfield & Gorrie and Impact Development. Your commitment to social responsibility and community investment makes projects like this possible.

🏡 Housing security is healthcare. Especially for those who served.

We are incredibly proud to highlight a recent project with Lockheed Martin, part of a national partnership with Rebuilding Together that delivers critical, no-cost home repairs and accessibility modifications to veterans and their families.

To see the real-world impact of this partnership, Lockheed Martin's volunteers worked alongside RTA on April 24th, at the home of U.S. Army veteran, Samantha.

Samantha enlisted just 19 days after 9/11, serving as a Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warfare Specialist, and deploying to Iraq in 2003. When she returned home, she faced new battles that eventually led to homelessness.

But Samantha’s story is one of ultimate resilience. In 2017, she reclaimed her life. Today, she is a certified peer specialist helping fellow veterans navigate mental health and addiction, and she recently founded her own nonprofit to support female veterans. She is also the primary caregiver in a multigenerational household, including her three daughters and family members living with disabilities.

Despite her incredible strength, her home required critical structural, plumbing, and safety repairs.

Thanks to an incredible team of volunteers and contractors, we tackled a massive scope of work to ensure Samantha's home remains a safe, permanent foundation:

🔹 Interior & Safety: Full plumbing and basement sink restoration, bathroom grab bar installation, new flooring prep, and ceiling repairs.

🔹 Exterior: Front step and entryway repairs, handrail staining, fence work, and a brand-new garden area for Samantha and her kids.

As Samantha beautifully put it: "The repairs will allow us to live safely, comfortably, and healthy in our home—and allow me to provide safe and stable housing for my daughters."

Since 2022 in the Atlanta region alone, Lockheed Martin has invested over $120,000, eliminated 38 home hazards, and mobilized employees for 900+ volunteer hours.

Investing in a veteran’s home isn't just about structural fixes. It is an investment in leaders who continue to give back to our communities every single day.

Thank you, Lockheed Martin, for your unwavering commitment to those who served.

80 years old. 6 years of Army service. 57 years in the same home. 🎖️

Mr. Lawrence served six years in the U.S. Army, including four years in Vietnam. He returned home in 1969 to the same house he lives in today. But as the decades passed, the repairs began to outpace his resources.

Maintaining a 78-year-old home on a fixed income became an impossible battle. From a failing roof to safety hazards, the place that held his family together was falling apart.

We are proud to share that thanks to the incredible volunteers and our skilled contractors, Mr. Lawrences' home has been restored. By installing a new roof, safety measures in the bathroom, and restoring the yard, we are helping restore dignity for a man who sacrificed so much for our country.

To Mr. Lawrence: Thank you for your service. It is an honor to ensure your home stands as strong as your resilience.
