Homeaid, a program operated by The Home Building Foundation of Portland constructs and remodels homes for nonprofit organizations in Portland and across the country. This company just celebrated 35 years of helping end homelessness. Homeaid has partnered on numerous projects, including building and refurbishing tiny home villages, group homes, and shelters.
Recently HBF dropped off pre-cut building materials to a construction class at Sam Barlow High School. The students then constructed a shed as part of their coursework. This initiative illuminates a potential future where aspiring builders learn to contribute to their communities. Could this be the future of construction and education? For more information on this project and others led by The Home Building Foundation, read Taresa Spangler's blog post at Extra Credit Assignments (buildhopepdx.org)
