Body
Summary:
The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs (CSHBA) and The Associated General Contractors of Colorado (AGC-C) partnered with leading regional educators to address the workforce shortage and dropout rates in El Paso County, and eventually, around the state by putting skilled vocational education back in high schools through Careers in Construction. In 2019, CICC expanded the program statewide to school districts spanning the Front Range.
HBA Cares, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded by members of the housing and building industry. The philanthropic arm of the Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs, HBA Cares is guided by its own board of directors, budget, and mission: to partner with other nonprofits, engaging industry resources to support transitional and accessible housing and other community projects. Backed by Project captains and sponsors who provide critical industry expertise and resources, HBA Cares helps address housing and living needs within the Colorado Springs community.
