HBA Benefit home

The HBA Benefit Home is the annual construction of a home built mostly – if not entirely – through donations of construction management, materials, supplies, labor and financial support of the members of the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin.
​
​
The majority of net proceeds from the sale of the home on the open market benefit local charities as designated by the HBA.

The Benefit Home offers the HBA a unique opportunity to give something back to the larger community, specifically to designated beneficiaries who are significantly and positively impacting the Greater Austin community.  What’s more, it’s a perfect example of how the 750+ members of the HBA contribute to the economic impact of the communities in which they build and make a direct impact on worthy causes within those communities.

​Since the construction of the first Benefit Home in 1991, the HBA of Greater Austin and its members have raised over $3 million for local charities through this program. 

​Proceeds from the sale of HBA Benefit Homes have supported nonprofits including:

How it Works
The management of construction of a marketable home is handled by an HBA Builder or Developer member as the sponsor. Together, the HBA and the Builder/Developer host VIP Events for HBA members, vendors, and leaders from HomeAid Austin—one at Groundbreaking and one at completion.

The HBA and the Builder/Developer recruit a small task force of expert members (including a home designer) to solicit donations of materials and labor, and coordinate the vendors and selections to drive down the hard costs of the home.

​Once the home is successfully sold and closed, the HBA and the Builder/Developer will invite the leaders of all benefiting charities to receive the contribution and celebrate the results!
