Luke Bryan Joins Team Fighting America’s Affordable Housing Crisis
He'll serve as the 2020 ambassador of the Home for Good project.
Luke Bryan is helping bring attention to nation’s affordable-housing crisis, serving as the official ambassador of Cornerstone Building Brands’ 2020 Home for Good project.
Since founding the project in 2016, Cornerstone has donated over $2 million in exterior building products to Habitat for Humanity, contributing to more than 500 homes in 70 communities. This year they’ll continue efforts to build more affordable housing around the country, and now Bryan is on the job.
“Our products are the cornerstone of the communities in which we live, work and play and we are committed to positively contributing to and giving back to those communities,” said James S. Metcalf, Cornerstone Building Brands’ Chairman and CEO. “As we continue to help by donating our Ply Gem branded building products and our employees’ volunteer time, we are honored to team up with country music superstar Luke Bryan as our 2020 Home for Good project ambassador and appreciate his support as we raise awareness and find solutions for this critical issue that continues to face the country.”
“I’m happy to lend my support of Cornerstone Building Brands’ ongoing efforts to raise awareness for available and affordable housing across the country,” Bryan added in a statement.
Currently, 1 in 6 American households spend 50 percent or more on housing — which means they can’t spend that money on other necessities like food or medical care. Habitat for Humanity has been working to address the issue since the 1980s, and many country stars have joined the cause — including Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, who helped spearhead a recent project in Nashville with former President Jimmy Carter.
Bryan’s new album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here is set for release on April 24, and his Proud to Be Right Here Tour featuring Morgan Wallen, Runaway June and Caylee Hammack kicks off May 28 in Cincinnati.
