CHBA-NL & Habitat for Humanity Partnership Strengthens #CdnBuilt Communities
For the past decade, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Newfoundland and Labrador (CHBA-NL) has collaborated with Habitat for Humanity Newfoundland and Labrador (Habitat NL) to effect positive change in their community. Newfoundland’s First Tiny Home is one result of this partnership.
In March 2016, just prior to the CHBA-NL 33rd Annual Home Show, CHBA-NL members teamed up with Habitat NL volunteers to build a tiny home in 24 hours. CHBA-NL members sponsored the entire on-site project, which was revealed to Home Show attendees.
The project demonstrated innovative approaches to construction in small living spaces, but more importantly, it was an opportunity to give back to the local community. Home Show attendees purchased $10 tickets for a chance to win the tiny home, and sales amounted to $10,000. All proceeds were donated directly to Habitat NL to help forward its goal of providing low income families with safe, decent, affordable homes.
