ORLANDO, Fla. --- TV host, producer, author and licensed Florida building contractor Kristin Beall, left, earned a prestigious Aurora Award at the Southeast Builders Conference in Orlando last week for 'a new concept in safe, affordable housing called "Storm Safe Homes."

The SEBC's Aurora cited Beall's Summerwind model home, right, for Charlie Johnson Builder (she's vice president) at The Oaks at Summer Glen in Eustis. The three-bedroom, two-bath house offers 1,546 square feet of living space priced at $229,999, and like all 59 homes at the Oaks at Summer Glen, it's Fortified...for safer living®, which probably looks better in a headline than a news release.
