Groundbreaking Ceremony – Blitz Build
Tuesday, April 28th, 3 PM
805 Gifford Street Extension, Falmouth (behind the Falmouth ReStore)
Please park at the Falmouth ReStore. 

A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on April 28, marking the start of preparations for the September 21–25, 2026 Home Builders Blitz Build. During the five-day build, Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HBRACC) members will construct a Cape-style home at 805 Gifford Street Extension in Falmouth. The Blitz home is one of four affordable homes being built behind the Falmouth ReStore as part of Habitat’s continued effort to address Cape Cod’s housing crisis.

A Home Builders Blitz is a home constructed from frame to finish in just one week, donated to Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod. Every two years, the 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. 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.
