At Empire Homes, people are at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to community—building it, growing it, and celebrating it—extends beyond the homes we build. It’s reflected in how we show up for our homeowners, our employees, and the environments we shape.
Our impact spans seven key areas where we focus our efforts: Health & Well-Being, Community Development, Sports & Recreation, Education, Sustainability, Arts & Culture, and Volunteerism & Giving Back. From thoughtful neighbourhood planning to sustainable building practices, and from supporting education to embracing innovation, we’re shaping spaces where both people and communities can flourish.
Empire Homes’ partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital continues to grow—expanding from a single Dream Home in Colorado to a growing, multi-state initiative that now includes Houston, TX, reaching more families and communities each year. Together, we’re helping fuel St. Jude’s mission to treat and defeat childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. As our involvement deepens, so does our impact—ensuring that more families have access to world-class care, without ever receiving a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
Access to essential resources is at the heart of a thriving community. We support organizations that provide food security, mental health resources, and crisis support to those in need. Through partnerships with groups like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The Giving Kitchen, and Campfire Circle, we help uplift individuals and families experiencing challenges, ensuring they have the support they need to move forward.
