Tewksbury Home Build

Shawsheen Valley Technical High School faculty and students have worked on our 2018 South Street project, and have officially partnered with THB on our final South Street project as well as likely providing support to our Main Street project.

The Town of Tewksbury has provided significant support with the first build in town.  The land was donated to allow the build to happen.  In addition, the Board of Selectmen approved expenditures from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to cover back taxes and additional resources for the build. 

Soldier On is a private, nonprofit organization committed to ending veteran homelessness. Soldier On was organized in 1994 to provide a continuum of programs to ensure that homeless veterans and their families have access to immediate and long-term housing with an array of support services delivered to them where they live. The ultimate goal is to provide formerly homeless veterans with permanent, supportive, sustainable housing with services. For more information, visit www.wesoldieron.org

Tewksbury Congregational Church is the birthplace of Tewksbury Home Build.  In 2014, representatives of Habitat for Humanity of Lowell approached the church's leadership to determine the level of interest by the congregation to support the first build in Tewksbury.  Shortly thereafter, a small group of church members formed an internal church committee to lead the effort to raise $50,000 towards the Tewksbury home. As the efforts progressed, it was clear that there was a huge interest in supporting this effort in town, and Tewksbury Home Build was formed as a separate non-profit organization.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell (HFHGL) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that works to strengthen families and communities through affordable homeownership opportunities. HFHGL works in partnership with corporations, like-minded community groups, faith-based organizations, and individual volunteers to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating decent, energy efficient, affordable homes. Not only do Habitat families pay for their homes through a monthly mortgage, they also put in between 225 and 400 hours of sweat equity and complete both a financial and first-time buyers program prior to becoming homeowners.

HFHGL services 15   towns: Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Concord, Dracut, Dunstable, Lowell, Reading, Tewksbury, Tyngsboro, Wakefield, Westford, and Wilmington

The MacLaren family and all of their staff at Wamesit Lanes have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to the mission of THB, as well as their support for their community more broadly.  As the name sponsor for each of our Harlem Wizards events, the host of our first Cornhole Tournament, and a consistent supporter of our needs on the build site, Wamesit Lanes is an outstanding corporate community member, and a great friend to Tewksbury Home Build.

Tewksbury Country Club hosted our first annual Scramble Golf Tournament in October 2017.  The management at TCC has been fully committed to supporting our mission in Tewksbury.
