As part of Habitat for Humanity’s Home Builders Blitz 2017 which takes place from June 5-9 across the United States, professional homebuilders and suppliers will provide the labor, funding and materials to help more than 200 families across the U.S. build strength, stability and self-reliance through improved shelter.
Locally, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area and Collier Construction will help a family of four build their new three bedroom/two bathroom home in a Habitat for Humanity community in the Villages of Alton Park. This home will be the ninth Habitat home built in this community.
The owner of Collier Construction and former board chairman of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area, Ethan Collier, along with 30 employees will volunteer more than 300 hours to complete skilled tasks that are traditionally subcontracted out. The Collier Construction team will set the roof trusses, install widows, siding, and exterior doors during the weeklong Homebuilders Blitz.
The kick off of Habitat’s Homebuilders Blitz will take place on Tuesday, from 10 am – noon with the raising of the roof trusses.
Construction crews will be onsite from June 6 – 10 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
