How Do We Do It?
The 2024 Blitz house, a three-bedroom Cape, is one of four affordable homes being constructed on Jack Delaney Lane in Dennis. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod purchased the land with Town of Dennis Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds.
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.
Crews line 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. Through the incredible generosity of HBRACC, one home will be built for one family in one week.
“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.
