HOUSTON<\/strong> \u2013 In Waller, Texas, a simple frame of wood and nails is transforming into something much bigger – a mortgage-free home for Army veteran Staff Sergeant Cassandra Pierre and her three children.<\/p>\n

At PulteGroup\u2019s Built to Honor event, team members from the Houston Division filled the unfinished walls with Notes of Love – blessings, prayers, and personal messages meant to stay with the home forever.<\/p>\n

Lindy Oliva, Houston Division President for PulteGroup, said the Notes of Love event is one of her favorite things about being part of PulteGroup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe build homes every day, but giving back to veterans who\u2019ve given so much for us, this is incredibly meaningful,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Among those leaving messages was Brianna Leon, Division Product Manager for PulteGroup, who said she and her family wrote Bible scriptures in every room of the home.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents were Marines, just like Cassie, so this hits home for me in a very personal way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Melissa Kloss, Community Agent with PulteGroup, found the moment especially emotional. <\/p>\n

Tearing up, she said, \u201cI just hope this family finds love, happiness, and peace in this home. It\u2019s not just about building walls. It\u2019s about building a future filled with blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n

In partnership with Operation Homefront, this home marks the 100th mortgage-free home built through PulteGroup\u2019s Built to Honor program since its launch in 2013. The home will be completed later this year, with PulteGroup presenting the keys to Cassandra and her children in December.<\/p>\n

From Homes to Careers: PulteGroup\u2019s Ongoing Support for Veterans<\/b><\/p>\n

For PulteGroup team member Ife Uwagboi, the Built to Honor event carries personal significance. His sister, Chid Uwagboi, a 13-year Army veteran, found her post-military career at PulteGroup after he encouraged her to apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a drill sergeant, deployed to Iraq,\u201d Ife said. \u201cWhen she retired, I wanted her to have the same opportunities I had here. PulteGroup gives back to veterans in a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chid agreed, \u201cTransitioning from the military to civilian life isn\u2019t easy,\u201d she said. \u201cBut PulteGroup supported me every step of the way \u2014 and gave me a place where my skills and experience truly matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Hahn, PulteGroup\u2019s Houston Division Vice President of Land Acquisition and a veteran himself, said that support goes far beyond this one home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in homebuilding for 13 years,\u201d Hahn said. \u201cBut the dedication this team puts into supporting veterans – it moves me. I\u2019m proud to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

From mortgage-free homes to meaningful careers, PulteGroup\u2019s commitment to veterans is building far more than walls. It\u2019s building homes. And it\u2019s building futures.<\/p>\n
