Cape Cod Builders Unite Next Week to Build a Habitat Cape Cod Home in Just One Week
 
Public Invited to Watch the 2026 Home Builders Blitz Build and Celebrate a Local Family's New Home
 
FALMOUTH, MA —Next week, hundreds of Cape Cod builders, subcontractors, suppliers, volunteers, and community partners will come together to build a home for a local family, completing a three-bedroom home in just one week.
 
The 2026 Home Builders Blitz Build officially begins Monday, September 21, and continues through Friday, September 25, at 805 Gifford Street Extension in Falmouth, behind the Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod ReStore.
 
The public is invited to stop by throughout the week to watch the remarkable transformation as members of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HBRACC) donate their time, expertise, materials, and resources to construct the home from frame to finish.
 
By the end of the week, the home will belong to Sharon and Kevin and their three boys, who currently live in West Yarmouth. Kevin works as a landscaper, and Sharon is a healthcare worker. The family will soon have a home to call their own on Cape Cod.
 
“This is what the Blitz Build is all about, neighbors helping neighbors,” said Wendy Cullinan, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod. “In just one week, hundreds of people will come together to build a home that will make a lasting difference in the lives of Sharon, Kevin, and their three boys. We hope the community will come out and see this incredible transformation for themselves.”
 
A Home Builders Blitz is a unique partnership between Habitat Cape Cod and HBRACC in which local building professionals donate the labor and materials needed to construct a Habitat home in just one week. The 2026 Blitz Build marks the seventh partnership between the organizations. Previous Blitz Builds have taken place in Orleans, Harwich, Brewster, Dennis, and Falmouth.
The 2026 Blitz home is one of four affordable homes being built behind the Falmouth ReStore as part of Habitat Cape Cod's continued effort to create more affordable homeownership opportunities for local families.

Community members are encouraged to stop by 805 Gifford Street Extension throughout the week to watch the progress and support the local professionals and volunteers making the Blitz Build possible.
