2026 HOME BUILDERS BLITZ BUILD
September 21st - 25th
ONE HOME FOR ONE FAMILY IN ONE WEEK
The 2026 Blitz home, a three-bedroom Cape, will be one of four affordable homes constructed behind the Falmouth ReStore on Gifford Street Extension in Falmouth.
Every two years, the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HBRACC) and hundreds of its members and associates donate materials and supplies and volunteer countless hours of skilled labor to build a Habitat Cape Cod home that will be purchased by a local family with an affordable mortgage.
A Blitz Build is a home constructed from frame to finish in just one week, donated to Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod. The Home Builders Blitz partnership between Habitat and HBRACC began in 2013 and continues every two years, with successful builds in Orleans, Harwich, Brewster, Dennis, and Falmouth, highlighting the urgent need for affordable homeownership for local families and the commitment of the home building industry to supporting that goal.
“We are grateful that the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod continues to enthusiastically embrace the challenge of fully funding and building a Habitat Cape Cod home in just five days. Aside from the opportunity it offers to the local family purchasing the home, the Blitz home builds awareness of the tremendous affordable housing need here on Cape Cod.”
– Wendy Cullinan, President & CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod

Get Involved with the 2028 Blitz Build
A successful Blitz Build involves the generosity of the entire community — not only the suppliers, contractors, skilled professionals, and laborers, but also the many members and associates of HBRACC and Habitat volunteers who contribute their time and expertise in hospitality, meals, multimedia… and everything else that doesn’t involve a construction tool! Every aspect of additional support we receive is crucial and very much appreciated.
