12th Annual Habitat Home Builders Blitz Builds 10 Homes In One Week
By Allison Westlake
Ten families have a new place to call home thanks to the 12th Annual Habitat for Humanity Home Builders Blitz.
The Blitz is a combined effort between Habitat for Humanity Greater Birmingham, the Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders and community sponsors, including Alabama Power. Nine local, private homebuilders began work on Oct. 12 alongside local construction crews, skilled laborers and volunteers. In just one week, they built 10 homes for families in need, dedicating the complete homes Thursday.
Homebuilders and Habitat worked together to organize the event, get donations of materials and raise funds. Habitat provides architectural plans for each house, while sponsors donate meals throughout the week for all volunteers. Adding to the value of the build, each home is all-electric, achieving an Energy Star rating.
