Local Habitat for Humanity representatives and Home Builders Association members spoke during a short program.
The nationwide Home Builders Blitz projects seek to build and renovate more than 200 homes, thanks to the skilled labor provided by local professional homebuilders and construction firms.
Habitat’s Home Builders Blitz was a partnership between Habitat affiliates and the building community to build and renovate homes across the United States. Builders and Habitat affiliates work closely to organize all aspects of building, including securing subcontractors and suppliers, fundraising and seeking donations of materials. Builders participating in the program this year will work with more than 100 Habitat affiliates.
“We are excited to partner with the Greater Cedar Rapids Area Home Builders Association and engage them in our work to help families in need of affordable housing,” said Jonathan Reckford, Habitat for Humanity International CEO. “By sharing their talents and skills with us, we are able to increase our capacity to help fulfill the dreams of two local families. We thank the builders for their commitment and dedication to making Home Builders Blitz 2012 a success.”
Locally, a committee of member builders from the Greater Cedar Rapids Area Home Builders Association along with Jeff Capps and Ron Olinger from Habitat for Humanity worked for months with subcontractors and suppliers to obtain materials and professional labor for the build.
"The HBA is so proud to be able to be part of this event. Our members are the best in the industry and really show it once again by stepping up to donate time and materials to build these two houses, said 2012 HBA President Joe Ahmann of Ahmann Design. "We are very pleased to be able to say that nearly 100% of all labor and materials will be supplied by HBA member companies!"
