How Time and Treasure Turns Into Keys to an Affordable Home
Here's a small breakdown of how donations of funds and time translate to constructing new homes:
-
Recyclable aluminum, plastic, and metals = dollars for home-build costs.
-
One hour of volunteering saves $35-50 an hour of labor, depending upon the type of construction.
-
An individual with or without a trade specialty, a business or church group, or a group of individuals volunteering one to two days translates to hundreds of dollars in labor costs and the satisfaction you contributed to affordable housing in your community!
-
$20 = Wall plates for a home
-
$50 = 1-gallon indoor paint (400 square foot area)
-
$100 = 5-gallon Primer Paint (2,000 square foot area)
-
$125 = 1 coil of nails
-
$150 = Garbage disposal
-
$200 = 1 roll of house wrap
-
$450 = 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom doors
