Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity was excited to participate in Home Builders Blitz 2019 on September 9th thru 13th. Home Builders Blitz, a Habitat for Humanity International initiative, highlights the relationship between our organization and professional builders as we work together to build decent, affordable homes in partnership with families. This year, Charlotte County Habitat partnered with five local builders: Ander K. Jackson Construction, Coastal Property Group of Florida, Florida Premier Contractors, Harbor Home Builders and Truex Preferred Construction, to build five homes in five days! All five builders and their subcontractors donated their time and labor to build these homes. Many of their vendors, Charlotte County Habitat’s vendors, as well as Habitat International’s vendors donated construction materials to support this initiative. The need for affordable housing remains high in our community. Charlotte County Habitat’s family services department receives on average 100 inquiries a month from families in need of affordable housing.
We strive daily to partner with as many families as possible. For the past 10 years, Charlotte County Habitat averaged 30 homes per year. Participating in Home Builders Blitz 2019 will allow us to partner with 35 families this year. What is the result of five homes in five days? A firm foundation for five families, safe backyards for seven children and a brighter future for all who live, work and play in Charlotte County. Charlotte County Habitat wishes to thank the builders, subcontractors/vendors and all who contribute to our mission of providing safe, decent affordable housing to families in need. If you would like to learn how to get involved or how you can contribute to solving the affordable housing crisis in Charlotte County please contact Gabrielle Reineck at 941-639-3162 or gabrielle@charlottecountyhfh.org. God Bless You,
