How Our Team is Transforming Communities Through Compassion and Giving
We have long been recognized for building exceptional, affordable, and sustainable homes across the Austin, Texas Metro and surrounding area. But what truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to shaping vibrant communities through compassion, generosity, and innovation. Our team at Brohn Homes isn’t just constructing homes—we are weaving a culture of giving that touches lives and transforms neighborhoods.
“We live out our core values of love, fun, and innovation every day, striving to make a lasting impact on the communities where we live, work, and play. Our hope is to inspire others to join us in creating a brighter, kinder future for all.” – Greg Barber, VP of Operations for Brohn Homes.
At the heart of our mission is the Brohn Gives Program, which empowers our team members to extend their influence beyond the build, going the extra mile to create meaningful change across Central Texas.
Making a Difference: How Brohn Homes Gives Back to Central Texas in 2024
Our giving impacts every aspect of our culture. We build homes for families in Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Elgin, Buda, and Kyle with plans to continue expanding, but we also want families that move into one of our communities and our homes, to know and see that our team is truly connected by giving of our time, treasure, and talent to continue to improve our cities.
We were honored in 2024 to be named Developer of the Year along with many other honors, but it means so much more to know that our commitment to the community is what allows innovation, creativity, and heart to be seen and felt in our homes. With a people-first mindset, our team members devoted nearly 2,000 hours in 2024 to community service—changing lives one small act at a time.
One of our goals was to continue to tackle hunger in Central Texas. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its annual study showing that Texas has the second-highest rate of food insecurity at 16.9% as referenced in a feature article by Feeding Texas. That means that 1 in 6 households are food insecure. We at Brohn believe that we need to do our part and put our hands to work not only building homes but feeding families.
Through partnerships with impactful organizations, we provided 8,120 warm, nourishing meals to those in need, fostering dignity and hope with every plate served. Our team’s efforts included serving 5,280 meals at the Central Texas Food Bank, delivering 2,590 meals through Operation Turkey in Elgin, and cooking and serving 250 meals with Angel House. Together, we united in the fight against hunger, lighting a path of hope for many.
Another area of impact near and dear to our hearts is supporting our veterans, active military, police officers, firefighters, teachers, and other civil servants who guide and protect our communities. We proudly support the Homes for Texas Heroes Program, which offers housing and down payment assistance to teachers, first responders, corrections officers, and veterans—everyday heroes who dedicate their lives to serving others.
Our Brohn team continues this support throughout the year by giving current and former armed forces service members and civil service personnel access to early releases and a $1,500 design credit with their home purchase. The Hometown Heroes initiative at Brohn is a small way that we can show our gratitude for what these individuals have done and continue to do to serve all of us in our local communities across Central Texas.
From Beds to Tiny Homes: Brohn’s 2025 Commitment to Giving Back in Austin & Beyond
A new year brings a continuation of our give-back efforts. We kicked off the year in continued partnership with Sleep In Heavenly Peace, an organization focused on providing beds for children who fall asleep each night without the comfort and security of a bed. Together, we built 30 beds for children in need in the local Austin and Round Rock communities, ensuring they have a safe and comfortable place to rest. A good night’s sleep empowers these children to succeed in school and life, nurturing dreams for a brighter tomorrow.
“We love working with Brohn to build beds for children in our local community. They help us bring to life our mission that no kid sleeps on the floor in our town!” [Steve Gielda, Chapter President, Sleep in Heavenly Peace]
Our Brohn team is also gearing up to contribute to a cause close to our hearts—Community First! Village, which provides permanent, affordable housing and a supportive community for individuals transitioning out of chronic homelessness. The community spans 51 acres in Northeast Travis County. This March, we will break ground on our second tiny home, designed to offer dignity and hope to those most vulnerable.
“The Brohn team is an amazing Austin homebuilder who continues to go above and beyond for our community. Our tiny homes provide a starting point for residents. I think our two favorite moments are when we break ground and when we get to hand over the keys to the new resident. Brohn continues to go above and beyond to provide homes to people in need.” [-Robert Somera, Community First! Village a development of Mobile Loaves & Fishes]
Stepping into April our team will begin to serve Healing with Horses Ranch, a nonprofit offering equine-assisted services for people facing learning, behavioral, mental, emotional, and physical challenges. Their focus on at-risk youth, veterans, active-duty military, and first responders aligns with our dedication to make a profound, heartfelt impact for those at-risk and for those who serve all of us in our communities.
Our giving plans will continue to expand throughout 2025.
A Legacy of Giving: Our Commitment to Schools & Community Growth
Our team’s generosity also shines through community development. We were proud to provide a donation of a 12-acre land site for Elgin Independent School District’s fourth elementary school—marking the first time in EISD’s history that residential developers have contributed land for a public school. This contribution will shape generations to come, building a stronger, more united community.
The Brohn Gives program is a living testament to the power of collective action and the beauty of giving back. Through our dedication and compassion, we desire to set a standard for how corporations can go beyond business to uplift the communities they serve. Together, with our hands, hearts, and vision, we are building not just homes, but a future filled with hope, generosity, and boundless possibilities.
