ACHIEVING THE AMERICAN DREAM OF
HOME OWNERSHIP
Compensation Solutions
Participates in
Paterson Habitat for Humanity’s Corporate Challenge
OAKLAND, NEW
JERSEY – July 5, 2005 – Former President Bill Clinton might very
well have been speaking about Paterson Habitat for Humanity when he
said: “Everybody counts. Everybody deserves a chance. Everybody’s
got a responsibility to fulfill. We all do better when we work
together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters
more.” Compensation Solutions, one of the tri-state area’s leading
Professional Employer Organizations, recently spent two Friday
afternoons working side by side with other volunteers at the 2005
Corporate Challenge for Habitat for Humanity. The goal for this year
was to raise $150,000 and to have housing materials donated for two
“Habitat Homes”. Between June 6th and June 18th, volunteers from
more than thirty businesses climbed scaffolding, swung hammers,
framed rooms, installed doors and painted walls with the families
who will eventually move into these Habitat homes.
Families selected for the Habitat program must meet the following
criteria: they must have a need for housing; they must have
residency in Passaic County; they must have an ability to pay the
“no-profit” mortgage; and they must complete 500 hours of “sweat
equity” and other homeownership training requirements. Paterson
Habitat has built 156 homes in the city of Paterson since it began
over twenty years ago in October 1984, and the long-term goal is to
complete 200 homes by the end of 2006.
“Compensation Solutions is a company that values teamwork so it is a natural
fit for us to participate in this wonderful team effort to build
homes for our neighbors in Paterson, “ said Tom Cioffe, President
and CEO. “Paterson Habitat for Humanity provides benefits to those
who give of their time and efforts by strengthening community
relations, encouraging teamwork and developing leadership skills.
But most of all, it simply feels good when you are part of the team
that makes a family’s dream of home ownership come true.”
