The popular home renovation series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is making its much-anticipated return on both ABC and Hulu in 2025, and one of its episodes will be featuring the East Valley. This new iteration of the show involves a twist with hosts Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin of The Home Edit adding their unique flair to the heartwarming home transformations for which the series is known. They told ABC15 the community involvement in these projects makes the journey to a new life chapter that much more special for the families involved, as confirmed by ABC15.
As the show prepares to attend Phoenix, ABC15 and PR Newswire report that Taylor Morrison, a leading homebuilder, has stepped up as the exclusive homebuilder for the show. The company is on the lookout for volunteers aged 18 and older to lend a hand in constructing a brand-new home in Mesa's La Mira community as well as an approximately 2,000 square foot community center in Gilbert. Brad Schoenberg, Phoenix Division President at Taylor Morrison, having a variety of roles from catering to waste management, emphasized the value of volunteers' involvement, especially in ensuring hydration during the extreme heat.
The construction projects aren't merely a matter of building structures but aim to serve a higher purpose. Taylor Morrison alongside the show will be adding the community center to complement the homes previously donated in support of Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center patients undergoing cancer treatment. Sheryl Palmer, Taylor Morrison Chairman and CEO, expressed their commitment to creating a supportive space for patients and caregivers, reflecting that their project is not just about bricks and mortar but about building communities and facilitating healing, acccording to PR Newswire.
For those who desire to contribute to this cause, they can sign up to volunteer or donate through the Taylor Morrison website. Volunteers will play a crucial role as the Phoenix episodes are filmed from Sept. 11 through Sept. 20, and 2,000 volunteers alongside the show's dedicated crew will complete the construction in an operational blitz. The grand reveal, featuring the iconic 'Move That Bus!' moment, is an open invitation to the public to celebrate the culmination of this transformative project, as reported by PR Newswire.
Apart from the emotional aspect and community engagement, the collaboration between Taylor Morrison and The Home Edit is touted to bring a sense of organization and impeccable design to the new homes. The show offers a peek into how a well-planned space can create serenity in the often tumultuous journey of life transition for these families. With the partnership beginning in 2023, Taylor Morrison's role in the community and dedication to service were echoed by Palmer, detailing that it's not just about the construction but the emotional foundation the company aims to reinforce through its efforts.
