PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This is only a summary and may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" section included elsewhere in this prospectus. In this prospectus, "we," "us," "our," the "Company," and the "registrant" refer to Home Solutions of America, Inc., its predecessors, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1998.  Our growth strategy, developed in 2002, is to become a leading provider of specialty residential services that protect the homeowner's single largest investment - their home. We seek a dominant market position through the acquisition of strategic, specialized, profitable and well-managed residential service companies and through the above average internal growth of these operations.  Upon the successful closing of certain proposed acquisitions of existing businesses, Home Solutions will provide services such as cleaning and fabric protection, fire and water damage restoration, and the remediation of indoor air contaminants.

Growth Strategy

As part of its strategy announced in 2002, Home Solutions will seek to acquire or internally generate projects that will focus on providing the specialty residential services to homeowners that are discussed below.  Effective November 1, 2002, we closed our first acquisition as part of this strategy, acquiring PW Stephens, Inc., a $15 million revenue provider of indoor air contaminate removal services for homeowners in California.  We expect to continue our aggressive growth strategy with additional acquisitions.  The following is a list of the targeted services that we are pursuing:

Cleaning and Fabric Protection: We will provide fabric protection services to protect furniture, carpet and draperies from stains and daily wear and tear.  This niche market is primarily targeted at above-average income homeowners with an average ticket of approximately $400 or more.  We will provide our customers with an annual fabric protection service agreement that will allow them to have on-site spill clean up during the life of the agreement.  In addition, using well-tested methods of cleaning carpet, we will offer maintenance and emergency response services to our customer base to repair carpet damaged by common stains, pet dander, bacteria and dust.  This procedure will extend the life of the homeowners' carpets and make the carpet look its finest.  Furthermore, air duct cleaning is another under-developed market the Company will approach.  Particulate (organic and inorganic) material within a home's heating and air conditioning systems and the transferair ducts can cause allergic reactions and generally indicate poor air quality.  Furthermore, the conditions of these systems, high moisture content and heat are often the breeding ground for many types of mold.  It is expected that a portion of our cleaning operations will generate additional opportunities across our other business segments.

Indoor Air Contamination: Indoor air contamination, including contamination from mold, asbestos and lead paint, is a growing concern for the homeowner. With increased media attention regarding the health threat of mold, fewer insurance options, and property transfers at risk, current market conditions have created significant demand for mold inspections, certifications and remediation services.  These services consist of property and system inspections, surface and air testing, project design, microbial removal, light interior demolition, repair and specialized cleaning work.  Home inspections and testing can range from $500 to several thousand dollars. For the typical mold-contaminated house, a remediation project can last approximately one week and cost $20,000 or more for the homeowner.  Customer opportunities are developed through a regional sales force as well as through referrals by real estate firms, insurance adjusters, mortgage companies, attorneys and nationally branded retailers.  Although government-promulgated regulation is currently under review, industry practice and general awareness is building momentum. The Company believes it can use its industry experience to give efficacy to its processes and provide homeowners with quality assurance.  Furthermore, we plan to provide annual and quarterly monitoring services, in which technicians will regularly inspect, test and certify the air quality of our clients' homes.  It is expected that a portion of our indoor air contamination operations will generate additional opportunities across our other business segments.

---

Fire and Water Damage Restoration: As part of Home Solutions specialty residential services strategy, we will provide highly trained technicians to respond to fire, water and weather-related emergencies to inspect structural members and contents damaged by water, to determine the likelihood or extent of mold growth, and to provide immediate cleaning, drying, moving, storage, and deodorization, among other services.  As most cases of mold are associated with excess moisture, we believe that response to this type of event-related damage will provide significant additional revenue opportunities.  The cost and time requirements of these projects can vary dramatically from case-to-case.  It is expected that a portion of our fire/water damage restoration operations will generate additional opportunities across our other business segments.

The Company was incorporated in 1998 as "U S Industrial Services, Inc.", pursuant to a Delaware reincorporation merger with its predecessor, EIF Holdings, Inc., a Hawaii corporation.  In 2001, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation and changed its name to "Nextgen Communications Corporation", and in December 2002 its name was changed to its present name, Home Solutions of America, Inc.  The Company's corporate headquarters are located at 11850 Jones Road, Houston, Texas 77070, and its telephone number is (281) 970-9859.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known, or that are currently deemed immaterial, also may impair Home Solutions' business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, Home Solutions' business could be harmed.

WE HAVE LIMITED PRIOR EXPERIENCE ACQUIRING AND OPERATING RESIDENTIAL SERVICES COMPANIES.

Although the Company has a history of operations in the industrial services and voice/data and cabling services sectors, we have no history of acquiring and operating residential services companies.  The current strategy is a new direction for the Company, and we may encounter unanticipated, unusual, or unexpected risks and problems in developing this new area of business, which could adversely affect us, as well as our operations, revenue, and ability to obtain a profit.  Furthermore, as of June 30, 2003, our operations consist entirely of the operations conducted by P.W. Stephens, Inc., and there can be no assurance that we will be able to close our proposed acquisitions of other residential services companies.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES.

We incurred consolidated net losses of $477,000, $2,447,000, and $6,225,000 during the years ended December 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2000 (we changed our fiscal year to a calendar year at the beginning of 2001), respectively.  Our management believes that our revised business plan will be successful and we will become profitable; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our business plan or that we will be profitable now or in the future.

WE REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO ACQUIRE RESIDENTIAL SERVICES COMPANIES.

We will require additional capital to purchase niche residential services companies. If we are unable to raise capital when our needs arise, we will be unable to pursue our current business strategy and may not be able to fund our operations.

IF WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OR ACQUIRE COMPANIES USING OUR COMMON STOCK, IT COULD DILUTE PRESENT STOCKHOLDER HOLDINGS. 

We will likely need to raise money through the sale of additional equity within the next twelve months, in one or more private placements and/or public offerings. If we do so, all of the then current existing stockholders and their stock holdings will be proportionately diluted.  In addition, we will likely acquire companies using our common stock as consideration.  If we do so, all of our existing stockholders at such time and their stock holdings will be proportionately diluted. 

OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON THE DEMAND FOR RESIDENTIAL SERVICES.

Upon acquiring residential services companies, we would be adversely affected by any slowdown in the growth of, or reduction in demand for, residential services.  Demand for our services depends on numerous factors including:

• the amount and growth of household income;

• the financial condition of homeowners, and whether a homeowner's insurance policy is available to pay the cost of our services;

• the need for the remediation of indoor air contaminates, cleaning services, fabric protection and fire/water damage restoration;

• changes in mortgage rates; and

• general economic conditions.

OUR AGGRESSIVE BUSINESS PLANS WILL PLACE A SIGNIFICANT STRAIN ON OUR ASSETS.

Implementation of our aggressive acquisition strategy will impose significant strains on our management, operating systems and financial resources. The acquisitions that we are currently contemplating would involve substantial expenditures of our time and resources to close. If we fail to manage our growth or encounter unexpected difficulties during expansion, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The pursuit and integration of acquisitions will require substantial attention from our senior management, which will limit the amount of time they are able to devote to our existing operations.

WE ARE HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT.

If we lose members of our senior management, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis, and our business could be adversely affected.  Our existing operations and continued future development depend to a significant extent upon the performance and active participation of certain key individuals, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman of the Board. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in retaining the services of these or other key personnel. If we were to lose any of these individuals, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION FROM COMPETITORS WITH SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESOURCES.

We face competition from many entities with significantly greater financial resources, well-established brand names, and larger customer bases. We expect competition to intensify in the future.  The numerous companies that may seek to enter our industry may expose us to severe price competition for our products and services.

STOCKHOLDERS FACE POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

The market price of our common stock may experience fluctuations that are unrelated to our operating performance.  The market price for our common stock has been somewhat volatile during the past 12 months, with trading prices ranging from $1.25 to $3.50.  Home Solutions can provide no assurance that the current market price will be maintained.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

The 6,697,960 shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders into the public market pursuant to this prospectus. Further sales of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A depressed stock price could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities.

EFFECTS OF ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS COULD INHIBIT POTENTIAL INVESTORS OR DELAY OR PREVENT A CHANGE OF CONTROL THAT MAY FAVOR STOCKHOLDERS.

Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately:

• discourage potential acquisition proposals;

• delay or prevent a change in control; and

• limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and debt instruments with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common stock, without the consent of the holders of the common stock.

OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE DELISTED FROM THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE ("AMEX") IF WE DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE AMEX CONTINUED LISTING STANDARDS.

Our common stock is listed on the Amex, and to maintain our listing we must meet certain continued listing standards.  If our common stock was delisted from the Amex for any reason, it would reduce our liquidity and could seriously reduce the value of our common stock, reduce our ability to raise additional financing, limit our use of equity instruments to satisfy outstanding obligations, and limit our ability to attract qualified employees.

WE DO NOT PAY CASH DIVIDENDS.

We have never paid any cash dividends and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, which includes the documents we have incorporated by reference, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements deal with our current plans, intentions, beliefs and expectations and statements of future economic performance. Statements containing terms such as "believes," "does not believe," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "anticipates" and other phrases of similar meaning are considered to contain uncertainty and are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from what is currently anticipated. We make cautionary statements in certain sections of this prospectus, including under "Risk Factors." You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus, in the materials referred to in this prospectus, or in the materials incorporated by reference into this prospectus. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance, and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, other than the exercise price of any warrants that are exercised by selling stockholders who choose not to conduct cashless exercises of such warrants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

• privately negotiated transactions;

• broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

7

---

• a combination of any such methods of sale; and

• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

                        Legal Fees and Expenses................   10,000.00

ITEM 15.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 145 of Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.  Article EIGHTH of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Article VIII of our bylaws authorize indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL. We maintain liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and certain of our officers.  Also, we have entered into individual indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.

The above discussion of the DGCL and of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statutes, amended and restated certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements.

ITEM 17.   UNDERTAKINGS.

(a)        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)        To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

10

---

            (i)         To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

            (ii)        To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

(iii)       To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

            (2)        That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)        To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
