This Week’s Build: 2026 Blitz Build

Voices from the Build

"More than a hundred HBRACC volunteers are on site in Falmouth turning an empty lot into a home for a Cape Cod family - by Friday. We hope the community will come out and see this incredible transformation for themselves. HBRACC and its members are making a lasting difference in the lives of Sharon, Kevin, and their three boys, and we're grateful for a partnership that's now more than a decade strong." — Wendy Cullinan, President & CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod

 

"This HBRACC donation to Habitat happens because our members know how hard finding housing on the Cape is. Builders and suppliers are putting down their paying work next week to pick up a hammer for their community, donating time, labor, and materials to get this family into a home." — Todd Duffany, HBRACC Board President, M. Duffany Builders

 

"We broke ground on this back in July, and it's something else to see it finally underway. A hundred-plus HBRACC members donate all of the materials and 2,500 hours of labor to build the house in one week, because they know exactly what this build means — a family gets to call the Cape home instead of leaving it. That's the whole point of the Blitz." — Peter Kimball, Habitat Board Blitz Committee Chair, JB Sash

 

"More than 60 Cape Cod companies are donating labor and materials to this build, and we want people to know who they are. The best thank-you you can give them is your next project — find them all at capecodbuilders.org." — Tara Cronin, Director of Resource Development, Habitat Cape Cod

 

"The Blitz Build also underscores the critical role the local building industry plays in addressing Cape Cod’s housing shortage. While scalable solutions require long-term policy reform and zoning changes, projects like the Blitz demonstrate what is possible when the community works together." — Stefanie Coxe, Executive Director, HBRACC
