In January, the HBA of Greater Austin presented a check in the
amount of $4,295 to the Blanco River Regional Recovery Team to
assist in their efforts to help the San Marcos area rebuild following
the devastating 2015 Memorial Day floods. Donations from
members of the HBAGA through the Texas Builders Foundation
will help Central Texans who, through extraordinary circumstances,
have found themselves in need of a helping hand.
Unfortunately, many areas of Texas have experienced natural
and man-made disasters over the last few years. Dedicated
funds established through the Texas Builders Foundation have
raised thousands of dollars to help these communities rebuild.
For more information on rebuilding following a disaster, visit
TexasBuildersFoundation.org“what we do” or call (512) 476-6346.
The Texas Association of Builders would like to congratulate
the following home builders associations on their outstanding
efforts during NAHB's fall membership drive.
Texas had four winners, the most of any state. The four
associations were honored at the January International Builders'
Show® in Las Vegas.
