Jim Chapman Communities and Friends to Donate to Family Promise of Hall County 2017 IBS Show Home Will Benefit Hall County Families in Need

Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Communities and Jim Chapman Fine Homes, has been invited by the National Association of Home Builders and Professional Builder Magazine to exhibit an active-adult-styled single family home at the NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS), held in Orlando from January 10-12, 2017.

Through HomeAid Atlanta, and in close cooperation with many vendors and suppliers who are also part of this IBS show home by providing goods and materials, Jim has decided to donate this brand new home to Family Promise of Hall County, one of nine Family Promise affiliates in the greater Atlanta area working to end the cycle of family homelessness, at one-half of the home’s cost of construction.

The show home, a well-crafted modular home by Nationwide Custom Homes, comes fully furnished with all appliances and fixtures, and will highlight the latest design and construction features available to today’s builders. In Hall County, this home would be listed for approximately $300,000.

“First, I contacted HomeAid Atlanta to get their expert advice and make sure that our contribution of this turn-key house would benefit the most people,” says Jim. HomeAid Atlanta, the designated charity of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, is a nonprofit organization that works with homeless service providers and the building industry to build and renovate homes for families and individuals experiencing temporary homelessness.

“They put us in touch with Family Promise of Hall County, and I am honored to be part of the solution to help homeless children and their families regain stability in their lives,” notes Jim, himself a father of two young children.

This will be the third home in Family Promise’s Next Step Program and will be called the Spring Street Home. The homes are used by Family Promise of Hall County as transitional homes in the organization’s 90-day program that provides advisement, advocacy, and accountability for families seeking independence.

To realize the Spring Street Home, Family Promise has started a two-month fundraising campaign to quickly raise the monies needed to prepare the lot and pour the foundation for the new home. “To be able to use this magnificent donation by Jim Chapman Communities and friends, we need $100,000 by the end of the year so that the house can be moved here right after IBS is over. We would love to welcome our first family ‘home’ in January 2017,” says Lindsey McCamy, Executive Director of Family Promise of Hall County.

AJC Article Highlights 55+ Communities in Atlanta, Quotes Jim Chapman

Earlier this month, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution quoted Jim Chapman in print and online in an in-depth article about 55+ communities in the greater Atlanta area. Jim is president of Jim Chapman Communities as well as 2016 chairman of the NAHB 55+ Housing Industry Council.

Currently, he is developing a number of beautiful new age-restricted communities, and more will be announced soon.

Sweet Briar Farms, a private gated age-restricted community in Cherokee County, includes a total of 85 lots on 68 acres of former farmland, which translates into a spacious layout with 1.2 units per acre.

It is located just 3 miles from the vibrant downtown area of Woodstock, conveniently close to shopping, dining, healthcare and entertainment, and 2 miles north of SR92, with easy access to Atlanta with its business centers, world-class airport and renowned universities.

The Overlook at Old Atlanta, located in South Forsyth County, is conveniently close to Atlanta as well as Lake Lanier and the north Georgia mountains. The gated community will ultimately feature 130 homes, including 56 detached single-family homes with 3 or 4 bedrooms each, plus 74 attached villas with 3 bedrooms each. All maintenance-free homes will include 2-car attached garages with covered entry, plus rear porches as well as rear patios. Finished basements and 3-car garage options are available.

Furthermore, Chapman has announced that he will soon start construction on The Cottages at Horseshoe Bend. This brand-new enclave will consist of 19 single family, detached age-targeted homes in Horseshoe Bend, the premier country club community nestled along the Chattahoochee River in North Fulton.

According to the article, “Jim Chapman said moving to a 55+ community is a luxury since it offers an opportunity to embrace a ‘lock & leave’ lifestyle. In other words, flexibility to leave without all the baggage.” For the full article, click here.

“We offer active adults the kind of homes that suit their lifestyle,” says Chapman. “Homeowners in this stage of their lives look for single-level floorplans, access to outstanding amenities and a superior location – and above all, carefree living.”
