“The efforts made by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition exemplify the ability to empower viewers through television as they showcase the positive changes made in the lives of hundreds of families across the country, “said Rick Feldman, president and CEO of NATPE.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition features in each episode a project that would normally take at least four months to achieve that is instead concluded within seven days thanks to the help of hundreds of volunteers as well as a team of contractors and designers.
