Grant Money Awarded to Help Educate Youth on Careers in Housing Trades
The National Housing Endowment's Skilled Labor Fund has awarded funding to 59 home builder associations (HBAs) across the U.S. The Career Connections grant program is designed to support local events introducing young people to career opportunities in the residential skilled trades.
"This grant program from the Skilled Labor Fund helps us address one of the top issues builders across Iowa face as they work to build more homes,” said Jay Iverson, executive officer of the Home Builders Association of Iowa. “We have great local partners that we can leverage with this national support."
