... a safe, affordable home is more than shelter; it's the foundation for stability, opportunity and brighter futures.
Share
The week culminated in a dedication ceremony on Friday, May 16, in the Old Poole Place neighborhood, where sponsors, partners and homeowners gathered to officially dedicate the homes. The event celebrated the power of partnership and the lasting value of homeownership — recognizing that a safe, affordable home is more than shelter; it's the foundation for stability, opportunity and brighter futures.
'The Builders Blitz is a powerful demonstration of what's possible when communities come together with a shared purpose,' said Keith Scherzer, Senior Vice President of Operations at Cornerstone Building Brands. 'We are honored to help make homeownership a reality for these families and support the builders and contractors who made it happen.'
As presenting sponsor, Cornerstone Building Brands provided both a monetary donation and in-kind contributions of its Ply Gem ® windows and Mastic ® by Ply Gem vinyl siding to help ensure each home is strong, beautiful and energy efficient.
The Builders Blitz is a natural extension of the company's Home for Good project, a long-standing initiative launched in 2016 to address the affordable housing crisis. Through the program, Cornerstone Building Brands has contributed more than $4.1 million in products and resources, helping to build or renovate 825 homes across more than 150 communities nationwide.
'The Builders Blitz exemplifies our commitment to strengthening communities and supporting our customers,' said Scherzer. 'We're proud to provide the materials professionals rely on — and even prouder to see those materials making a real difference in people's lives.'
