LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, about 11% of the adult homeless population are veterans. Why are so many veterans homeless? It’s a critical question that remains largely unanswered. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, a large number of displaced and at-risk veterans live with lingering effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse, which are compounded by a lack of family and social support networks.

“It’s heart-breaking that so many veterans who have fought bravely for our country, return home only to find they can’t find an affordable place to live with their families,” says Christina El Moussa. “Success Path Education is a big supporter of Habitat for Humanity and it means a lot to Tarek and I to be able to help a veteran here in our own community finally have their own home.”
The veteran family who is the lucky recipient is still undergoing the final screening and interview process by Habitat for Humanity, and is expected to be announced within the next few weeks.
“Working with Success Path Education, we’re proud to give back to our community and are grateful we’ve been successful in flipping houses and real estate investing,” states Tarek El Moussa. “Working with Habitat for Humanity allows us to see struggling families move into clean, new homes that they otherwise couldn’t afford. It’s a great feeling!”
James Carlson, CEO of Success Path Education agrees, “Real estate is a pretty amazing way to be able to change people’s lives – not just in teaching people how to start their own real estate investing business using Tarek and Christina’s strategies like we do, but to give people who need it a leg up.”
Success Path Education is one of the most comprehensive and prolific real estate training programs in the country with over 200,000 students having attended its trainings, coaching and mentorship programs. Calling Orange County home, the donation to Habitat for Humanity makes sense with their experience in flipping neglected properties into clean, updated homes. Christina El Moussa states, “Tarek and I feel very strongly about helping veterans move into their own homes. At Success Path Education, we teach our students how to give back to the communities they invest in and Habitat for Humanity is focused on helping families in need so it’s just a really great fit.”
