Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - Looking for Families in Lauderhill!

Dear Residents of Lauderhill,

I have been contacted by the TV Program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They are looking for a house to rebuild. They provided me some insight of what they are looking for.

"We're looking for inspirational members of the community who, for whatever reason, need a new home. While we know that there are so many families in need all over this country, we want to focus on people that have given back in some way despite their personal hardships."

Those that may wish to apply, please read the information at the bottom they sent to us.

Good luck to all.

Richard J Kaplan
Mayor, City of Lauderhill


Do you know someone whose home deserves an Extreme Makeover? If so, the
producers of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition want to hear from you! Ty Pennington and his crew have been all across the map and they are ready to drive that famous bus to LAUDERHILL, FL!

What does it take to be picked for an Extreme Makeover?

We are in search of deserving families and deserving people - people who have amazing strength of character and who put their own needs aside to help others. Whether it’s a mom, a soldier, a teacher, or a fireman, we think a deserving family, are families who inspire those around them. In addition, the producers are looking for families whose houses need major alterations or repair- homes that present serious problems for the family and affect the family's quality of life.

To be eligible: A family must own their own single family home and be able to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives.
Interested families or those who wish to nominate another family should:
e-mail a short description of their family story to –
CastingExtremeMiami@gmail.com

Nominations/submissions must include:
1. The names and ages of each member of the household
2. A description of the major challenges within the home.
3. Explanation of why this family is deserving, or a positive role model in their
community.
4. Photos of the family and a photo of the home
5. Don’t forget to include a contact phone number.
