LGI Homes and Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County, Texas, are using a 24-hour-a-day schedule to blitz build four move-in ready homes by March 4. Starting Feb. 27, participating trade partners began donating their materials, time, and skills to support the build of these homes in Conroe, Texas, which will go to four families partnering with Habitat Montgomery County.
“We are very proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity on this extraordinary endeavor,” says Charles Merdian, chief financial officer at LGI Homes and a Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County board member. “Making families’ dreams of homeownership a reality is deeply embedded in LGI Homes’ DNA. For 20 years, we have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the positive, lasting impact that ownership can have on families and communities.
“The blitz build project allows us to take the experience, expertise, and partnerships we have built as one of the nation’s largest home builders and apply them in an unprecedented way—building four new homes for four deserving families in the span of only one week. We are incredibly excited about this project and deeply grateful to Habitat for Humanity for inviting us to participate, to our employees who volunteered to plan and manage the builds, to our trade partners for committing their time and resources to make the project possible, and to the city of Conroe and their inspectors for committing to help us accomplish this endeavor in a condensed time frame.”
