2019 Home Builders Blitz begins Monday, Sept 16th
100 small businesses working together donating time and supplies will build an affordable Habitat Cape Cod home in one week.

In an effort to bring awareness to the affordable housing crisis on Cape Cod, this fall more than 100 members of HBRACC (Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Cape Cod) will participate in their 4 th “ Home Builders Blitz” A “Blitz Build” is a home that is built in one week from frame to finish.  

Cape Cod home builders, remodelers and suppliers will build the home from Monday, September 16th to to Friday, September 20th . T he home will then be sold at an affordable price to a qualified, income eligible family that has applied and been selected through Habitat’s general process. Blitz build home purchasers traditionally accelerate their sweat equity hours, working on other Habitat homes and at the ReStore. 
 
The 2019 Blitz house, a two-story, three-bedroom Cape, will be one of eight affordable homes being constructed in the second phase of Habitat’s 14-home subdivision on Paul Hush Way. The land was purchased with funding from the Town of Brewster Community Preservation Act Funds.

A Full House for the Cabaret!
Old and new friends broke bread together after a festive variety show hosted by David Roth. Sass and saxophones, ukeleles and guitars, stand up comedy and heartfelt sung and spoken word. A grand time was had by all while we raised funds for Habitat at the Heart and Home Cabaret.
