Hosanna Industries bringing hope to Homewood
Local Nonprofit Mission to Lead Volunteers in Five Day Blitz
PITTSBURGH, PA- During the week of August 12 through August 16, Hosanna Industries will lead over 100 volunteers to "blitz build" a house in the Homewood community of Pittsburgh. Hosanna Industries' "blitz builds" are made possible with volunteer labor, donated and discounted materials and a uniquely organized building method which compresses the average length of construction to less than five days . This rehab blitz will include a complete interior renovation of all three floors and the basement. Floors will be resurfaced, plaster repaired, plumbing upgraded, electrical retrofitted, walls painted, and new kitchens and bathrooms installed.
The renovated home will become an at-risk youth center and a vital part of the Homewood Renaissance Association. The house, located on Idlewild Street, is intended to be a safe haven for children in the Homewood community. Homewood Renaissance plans to have many programs in this rehabilitated facility, including after school homework help and meals.
The Hosanna staff, made up of nine women and three men, is experienced and skilled in construction. They will lead over 100 volunteers who are mostly unskilled in the construction trades. Many of the volunteers for this project will be from Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church.
Some of the workers during this week are a part of Hosanna Industries' Trade Skill Learning Center. The students, mostly from Homewood, started learning the construction trades in January at Hosanna's campus. The program in total is three years long with a graduation goal to produce responsible professional builders. The students are also a part of the Homewood Renaissance's "All 4 Life" multi-faceted program.
The house will be dedicated with a short ceremony on Friday, August 16 at noon. At that time, visitors are welcome to tour the completed house.
