Build With Strength Helps Mark 30th Anniversary for California Chapter of Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity's chapter in Butte County CA, recently held its 30th Anniversary celebration in Chico, CA, reports NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Patrick Matsche who attended the event. Many large donors who contributed to the chapter over the years attended the event, he said, also noting that Habitat chapter Executive Director Nicole Bateman (seen here along with Patrick Matsche) recognized the Build With Strength team of NRMCA's Mike Philipps, Gregg Lewis and Patrick Matsche. They along with Mike Dalzell of NRMCA Associate member Fox Blocks provide in-in-kind labor, building two Habitat homes in Paradise, CA, which were the first homes donated by NRMCA members in 2021.

The November 2018 Camp Fire destroyed over 95% of the structures in Paradise and the surrounding communities. Since then, about 25 multifamily and single family homes have been constructed utilizing Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).
