Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County’s (HFHSPBC) Home Builders Blitz, two leading South Florida commercial General Contractors and their professional teams “fast track” built, donated and dedicated two homes in Boynton Beach to hard-working, low income Habitat Partner Families. Representing more than a $300,000 total commitment in funding, materials and professional labor, Current Builders (CB) and RCC Associates (RCC) each built a new home, and fixed others that were nearly falling down from the foundations and its retaining wall to interior walls to a roof replacement, and then outfitted each with flooring, plumbing, air-conditioning, painting and kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

The HFHSPBC Home Builders Blitz annually brings together professional commercial and residential powerhouse builders for one shared purpose – to build safe and affordable housing for families in need of a decent place to call home. It’s part of a national Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build tradition that began in 2002 when Habitat for Humanity of Wake County, North Carolina partnered with a local homebuilder to build 12 Habitat homes in five days.
