Bu ödülün verilmesine 4 gün kaldı. İşte Jon ve bu ödüle layık görülmesiyle ilgili onu tanıyanların söyledikleri:

"Jon's leadership and vision has been amazing, and he truly has leveraged his celebrity status to the benefit of many homeless and low-income individuals finding themselves in an economic crisis involving housing," Kurum direktörü Mimi Fox

''Bon Jovi's passion for the foundation is enormous, Jon's model of combining corporate, private and government monies has yielded over 100 homes in the last three years. Being part of that has been enormously gratifying, and to find new ways and new projects to initiate it is absolutely a great feeling.
" Grubun Vector Managment'taki ortaklarından Jack Rovner

''Throughout my long association with Jon I've always been amazed and impressed by his commitment to the community. This foundation has allowed it to be a bit more formalized, but this is not a newfound passion, it is lifelong passion. I've seen it every day for over 20 years.
" Grubun menajeri ve turne direktörü Paul Korzilius

ve Jon Bon Jovi'nin konuyla ilgili söyledikleri;

''When you look at the number of families and children that on any given night in our country do not have a place to call home, it strikes a chord-no pun intended-with me. Homelessness hits more people than you can imagine: 3.5 million people, 1.35 million of them children, are likely to experience homelessness in a given year. Homelessness 'is an issue we can address without the help of science' One of the causes of homelessness is lack of safe, decent and affordable housing-[which] is a crisis we can tackle, but it will take money, patience and perseverance. So, I've found the challenge which has spoken to me, and I'm trying to make a difference in the lives of these people who want to help themselves but just need a little help. And in efforts like this, no one can do it alone.''

''Support from all sectors in the communities in which we have built has enabled us to accomplish so much in the first two years of our foundation's existence. Without support from the private sector as well as the many individuals throughout the country that support our mission, we would not have been able to work with our nonprofit partners [Project H.O.M.E., Habitat for Humanity, HelpUSA and others] in providing over 140 units of affordable housing. It has also afforded us the opportunity to be a voice for the low-income and formerly homeless populations who, in some cases for the first time, are achieving the American dream of home ownership for their families. There is a great need in our country for affordable housing, especially in today's economic environment.''

''I've seen what a miraculous thing it is to hand someone the keys to a new home, not only a beautiful home that they can be proud to own, but a home that they have invested their own time, sweat and resources in.''
