Hillwood Communities and David Weekley Homes are partnering with Building Homes for Heroes to provide a new mortgage-free home for United States Navy veteran Hospital Corpsman Gabriel George. The home is located within Pomona, Hillwood’s master-planned community in Manvel.

George, who joined the Navy in 2004, was severely injured in a vehicle accident during training for deployment in 2008. After sustaining numerous injuries including to his spinal cord, George spent weeks on a ventilator in an induced coma. His right arm was later amputated because of nerve damage.

George was honorably and medically discharged from the military in 2009. Today, he’s director of pickleball at Military Adaptive Court Sports and is active in para-archery, even competing on Team U.S. in the 2020 Invictus Games.

Since its founding in 2006, Building Homes for Heroes has delivered almost 500 mortgage-free homes to wounded veterans. The nonprofit is projected to complete construction on 30 new homes this year alone.
