HSA and FDC Donate Kitchen Cabinetry to Habitat for Humanity for Ypsilanti Home

SALINE, MI — The Saline–based remodeling firm Homeowner Services of America, Inc. (HSA) and its sister company First Design Cabinetry (FDC) have donated a complete set of kitchen cabinetry to Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley (HHHV) for an Ypsilanti, Michigan home now in the finishing stages of rehabilitation.

HSA and FDC delivered the cabinetry, having retail value of more than $3,000, on August 12 to the home being rehabilitated at 326 Garland St. near E. Cross St. and N. Prospect Rd. on Ypsilanti’s near east side.

"Habitat for Humanity does an excellent job of providing good housing for those less fortunate," said David Rhoads, the founder and president of HSA and FDC. "I am grateful that the success of my businesses gives me the ability to help Habitat’s efforts by donating this cabinetry."

Since 1985, Homeowner Services of America has successfully completed over 600 home remodeling projects. The company specializes in kitchens, baths, basements, additions, dormers, and master suites. HSA also modifies homes for those with special needs — for example, senior citizens, disabled people, and others.

First Design Cabinetry provides cabinetry for kitchens, baths, and home offices. Its solutions range from basic to fully customized cabinets, including framed and unframed units. FDC is an authorized dealer of Ultracraft, Diamond, and other cabinet lines.

David Rhoads is a past president of the Home Builders Association of Washtenaw County, a current executive director of the state HBA, and a Saline City Council member. He is certified by AARP and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to adapt homes for easier living by senior citizens. In 2004, the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce selected Rhoads as Saline’s Citizen of the Year in recognition of his community involvement.
