The Tampa Bay Builders Association has joined forces with HomeAid to build properties for the homeless. HomeAid has built residences for more than 60,000 people to live in since 1989, and provides needed shelter to those who become homeless. They plan on building a number of housing units for the local homeless population.
“The members of our association wanted to give back to our community by doing what we do best: building housing,” said Jeffry Ewing of Ladera Construction Group, who is the TBBA president, in a release. Homelessness in Hillsborough County has risen 70 percent since 2002, making it the sixth-highest homeless population in the United States, he said.
“HomeAid has a proven track record in communities across the United States in helping cope with this issue through building housing facilities for the temporarily homeless,” Ewing said.
HomeAid Tampa Bay will be the organization’s 18th chapter, and will work to provide housing facilities for the community’s temporarily homeless population. via the Tampa Bay Business Journal
