CONROE, TX -- Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County, TX (Habitat MCTX) is collaborating with their long-time supporter LGI Homes, to build four homes for four local families in Conroe, TX. The event will take place from February 27 through March 4. Each participating trade partner is donating their materials, time, and expertise to help build the homes quickly and efficiently. At the end of the week-long Blitz Build, the homes will be move-in ready for the families partnering with Habitat Montgomery County.

Unprecedented event to build four new homes for four local families.

Habitat Montgomery County’s first-ever Blitz Build marks the beginning of construction in the last section of the Habitat subdivision, Cedar Creek. Habitat Montgomery County has a long history of successfully bringing together individual volunteers and corporate support to execute their mission. With the introduction of this Blitz Build, Habitat Montgomery County has the opportunity to bring trade partners together to raise awareness of the need for affordable housing in our community and to create homes that will provide a transformational change.

“We are very proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity on this extraordinary endeavor,” stated Charles Merdian, Chief Financial Officer at LGI Homes and Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County Board of Directors Member. Making families’ dreams of homeownership a reality is deeply embedded in LGI Homes’ DNA. For twenty years, we have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the positive, lasting impact that ownership can have on families and communities. The Blitz Build project allows us to take the experience, expertise and partnerships we have built as one of the nation’s largest homebuilders and apply in an unprecedented way – building four new homes for four deserving families in the span of only one week. We are incredibly excited about this project and deeply grateful to Habitat for Humanity for inviting us to participate, to our employees who volunteered to plan and manage the builds, to our trade partners for committing their time and resources to make the project possible and to the City of Conroe and their inspectors for committing to help us accomplish this endeavor in a condensed timeframe.”


“This is an exciting project for Habitat Montgomery County, our families, and this community. LGI and their local trade partners are making a tremendous, life-changing investment and contribution to affordable housing with this audacious project,” said Vicki Johnson, executive director for Habitat Montgomery County. “Getting families in safe, decent, affordable housing is a now issue. This Blitz Build helps Habitat Montgomery County address the critical need for a permanent place to call home now. We are blessed by the efforts of these local businesses. It is extraordinary.”
