The foundation, supported by contributions from the Atlanta company and its vendors, has handed out more than $65 million since 2011 to organizations that renovate or build houses for veterans across the country. Jake Maguire, a spokesman for the nonprofit group Community Solutions, applauded the Home Depot Foundation's commitment to working with experienced local groups. "I think they recognized early on they could make the biggest impact by partnering with as many organizations as they could," said Maguire, whose organization works to fight homelessness. The Home Depot Foundation has pledged to provide $80 million in grants by the spring of 2015. President Kelly Caffarelli said she expects the foundation to continue working on housing issues after that, especially as military cuts take effect and more veterans look for homes. "As long as there are veterans that need help with their housing, I think we'll continue trying to help," Caffarelli said. **This article appeared on The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
