Momentum Builds for Affordable Housing Project in Branson

According to a press release, Elevate Branson has announced their most recent “tiny home sponsorship, bringing another clean, affordable and sustainable housing unit to Elevate Community, the organization’s tiny home development project.”

The recent sponsorship totals $35,000 and is provided by Charlie O’Reilly, David O’Reilly, Larry O’Reilly, Rosalie Wooten and family. It brings the donations generated so far for this project up to nearly half of the total funding goal. The O’Reilly family has a long-lasting legacy not only of providing quality service in the auto industry with their family-owned auto-part franchise but also of contributing generously to local organizations providing emotional and physical assistance to those in need.

“Providing not only housing but other tools to help someone get back on their feet is a wonderful gift. Our family has adopted this philosophy for generations, and Elevate Branson does a great job in fulfilling this need,” Larry O’Reilly said.

The press release states that the “O’Reilly’s and Wooten’s tiny home sponsorship brings Elevate Community one home closer to providing 70 tiny homes in total, as well as wrap-around services such as workforce development training, access to affordable healthcare, and other resources, to low-income residents in the Branson community.” Their “contribution to the development builds on the momentum gained earlier this summer after the announcement of a $2.9 million federal grant awarded to Elevate Branson for the community’s infrastructure and first installment of 24 homes.”
