Carrie Petty elected to the National Board of Directors
for Rebuilding Together, Washington, D.C.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.
– Carrie Petty of Petty Custom Homes has been elected to the National Board of Directors for Rebuilding Together in Washington, D.C. Rebuilding Together is the nation’s leading nonprofit organization providing critical home repairs, modifications and improvements for America’s low-income homeowners at no cost to those served. During her three-year term, Carrie will be building the strategic vision for the nation’s Rebuilding Together affiliates.
"I plan to support local efforts by bringing capacity building funds to Indianapolis, which will expand the safety net for hoosiers in need. It’s also my goal to travel to the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention to support two Veteran builds," said Carrie Petty.
The organization’s network of 200 affiliated non-profits brings together 200,000 volunteers and completes 10,000 projects each year. In addition to providing home services, their work positively impacts the condition of the surrounding community through community center rehabilitation, playground builds, and partnerships with organizations focused on energy efficiency, sustainable community gardens, volunteer engagement, and education.
Giving back to the community has been a key component of Petty Custom Homes’ business philosophy for nearly 20 years. At least 10% of corporate profits go toward community mission efforts such as hunger and poverty housing issues. Carrie and her husband, Petty Custom Homes President Chris Petty, are also involved in the foundation they started after Hurricane Katrina: the CP Foundation, Inc. Carrie is the former Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Hamilton County, where Chris currently serves on the Board of Directors. She is a dedicated advocate for families living in poverty and her current work as Board Chair at Gleaners Food Bank has been life-changing for hungry hoosiers.
