 Johnson
Controls, a global multi-industrial company, is extending
its 2014 commitment to veterans into 2015 by renewing its
sponsorship of the Building Homes for Heroes® program.
Building Homes for Heroes is a national organization that
recognizes the tremendous sacrifices of men and women of the
United States Armed Forces by supporting the needs of
severely wounded or disabled soldiers and their families.
The Building Homes for Heroes initiative strives to build or
renovate quality homes and gift the homes to these veterans
nationwide, mortgage free.
Johnson Controls first announced its sponsorship of Building
Homes for Heroes in 2014, working with distributors and
contractors nationwide to donate heating and cooling
systems, including installation and labor costs, to 13
veterans and their families. The company recently committed
to supporting 12 additional families in 2015.
“All of us who have been involved with the Building Homes
for Heroes program during the past year are thrilled to know
that our relationship with the organization will continue
this year,” said Liz Haggerty, vice president and general
manager, Unitary Products Group at Johnson Controls. “What
better way for us as a company to live out our commitment to
the communities where we live and work than by supporting
the brave men and women who made tremendous sacrifices on
our behalf to protect our way of life in these same
communities?
