Raising Roofs…Builders for Habitat
The Greensboro BuildersAssociation and Habitat forHumanity of GreaterGreensboro are teaming upthe week of November 4-8to construct 7-8 houses inone week at The Village atNorthside. It’s our 10thyear anniversary since ourfirst build in 2003 in whichwe constructed 12 homes inone week. To date we havebuilt 43 homes through ourpartnership. This year’s goalis to meet or exceed building50 homes in our first 10 years.
Raising Roofs…Builders for Habitat brings builders,remodelers, suppliers and trade contractors together to workside by side to build houses from foundation to dedication inone incredible week.
Builder teams will be forming this spring. In years past, 3-6builders have partnered on the construction of a house.We will be constructing the homes to meet Energy Star and theNational Green Building Standard.
Habitat homes are simple, decent and affordable houses sold tohardworking families at no-profit and with interest-freefinancing. In addition to a modest down payment, familiescontribute 300 hours of “sweat equity” toward the purchase oftheir home. For Raising Roofs homes, families will volunteer onother construction projects to achieve their required hours.
There are numerous ways that GBA members can be involvedin this year’s build from serving on one of the builder teams; toproviding products, labor and services for the construction ofthese homes; to serving on our Logistics, Hospitality and/orFund Raising teams.
Most Immediate Way to Help: Purchase a $100 Reverse Raffleticket…with the chance to win $10,000…and join us onThursday, April 18 for a fun night and our official RaisingRoofs…Builders for Habitat kick-off event with all proceedsgoing to support this year’s build.
