ONE HOME, FOR ONE FAMILY, IN ONE WEEK

Every two years, the professional builders of HBRACC together with their vendors, donate all of the labor, materials and supplies for an affordable Habitat home to be purchased by a local family.

The 2022 Blitz house, three-bedroom ranch, is one of ten affordable homes being constructed on Willett Way in Falmouth. It is a 5.5 acre site that was purchased with Town of Falmouth Community Preservation Act funds by Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod. The 2022 Blitz began on Monday, September 19th and finished up on Friday, September 23rd, we will then all celebrated with a Block Party/Dedication

Hundreds of members of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HBRACC) donated supplies and volunteered countless hours of skilled labor to build one home for one family in one week.  

Crews lined up one after the other, working within their area of expertise including: framing, sheathing, siding, roofing, interior finish, painting and appliance installation. Project managers worked closely with town building inspectors to ensure that all aspects of the home met building codes.

We are hugely grateful that the home builders and remodelers continue to enthusiastically embrace the challenge of fully funding and then building a Habitat home in just five days. Aside for the opportunity it offers to the local family purchasing it, the Blitz home has served to build awareness of the tremendous affordable housing need here on Cape Cod.”-Wendy Cullinan, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Cape Cod.

Thank you to HBRACC for bringing awareness to the increasing issue of the lack of workforce housing on the Cape … homes that our working singles and families can afford allowing them to stay here and contribute to the future of Cape Cod.
