Vector Security Awarded Contract to Provide Security for All New Habitat for Humanity Homes in Jacksonville, FL

PITTSBURGH, September 18, 2018 – Vector Security, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent mobile security and home automation solutions, and the nation’s fourth largest security company, has been awarded a contract to provide security for all new Habitat for Humanity homes built in Jacksonville, Florida during the 2018-2019 contract year.

Habit for Humanity is a global non-profit organization that partners with families in need of housing. Habitat for Humanity homeowners build their own homes alongside volunteers from the organization, and pay an affordable mortgage.

The security systems will be installed as each new home is built; approximately 18 homes are expected to be completed during the contract year.

“Vector Security is pleased to assist Habitat for Humanity in its work to provide safe and affordable housing for those in need,” said Walter Smith, General Manager of Vector Security’s Jacksonville branch. “Homeownership is a huge milestone, and we are proud to be able to help Habitat homeowners protect their homes with reliable security equipment.”

The contract is part of a long-standing relationship between Vector Security and Habitat.

Additionally, Vector Security provides protection for HabiJax outlet stores, ReStore of Jacksonville.
