THE PROGRAM
The Prison Build Program is a unique partnership which has assisted Habitat affiliates in the building of more than 2,000 homes in the State of Michigan. The program offers inmates in various Michigan Correctional Facilities an opportunity for education and hands-on training by constructing wall panels, cabinets and other housing components. The finished products are then installed in decent, affordable homes by Habitat for Humanity affiliates.
Michigan Department of Corrections’ involvement serves as a means to provide meaningful and application skills training to inmates so as to influence their lives upon their release.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority financially supports the material acquisition for the program as a unique way to increase the amount and availability of affordable housing in Michigan.
The local Habitat affiliates across Michigan participate in this meaningful partnership to acquire high quality walls, cabinets, countertops, sheds and horticulture products for their housing projects while they are saving money and time.
