PARAGON GIVES BACK

At Paragon Home Plans, the personal experiences of our leadership with foster care and adoption profoundly shape our values and approach. Their family's commitment to providing a safe and loving environment has inspired our mission to design homes that are not just structures but safe spaces.

We're not just in the business of building homes—we're dedicated to building supportive and inclusive communities.

We proudly support Isaiah House 117 and Impact Living Services, two organizations making profound differences in the lives of children in foster care.
