Correa Medeiros Families First Ever Duplex Build

Status: UNKNOWN

For the first time in show history, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition stretched beyond one house and one family. Two homeless families from Arvada, Colorado received the opportunity to live in a ranch-style duplex built by the design team.

A Historic Episode

This episode marked a turning point for the show, demonstrating that their model could help multiple families at once. The duplex design allowed both families to have their own space while sharing a building.

The Impact

This experiment opened the door for future multi-family builds, including the military veteran duplex in the 2020 HGTV revival.
