A lot goes into building a house. There are the hard construction costs of the “bricks and sticks” – the windows and the doors; the plumbing and the toilets; the lumber, cabinets, and subcontractors. There are soft construction costs – acquiring and developing land, renting port-o-lets, and providing temporary utilities. That is why your support as build sponsors and donors is integral to keeping the build sites funded and stocked with supplies for volunteers to work with. The volunteer time committed to the build allows CAHFH to spend less on “hard costs,” like subcontractors, to focus on what is truly most important – ensuring the financial success of the homebuyers. A lot goes into building a house. But it’s worth every penny, every drop of sweat, to help a family make that house a home.
