Over 30 UTC Building & Industrial Systems employees volunteered their time for a recent Habitat for Humanity®project in Jupiter, Florida. Assisting with painting a three-bedroom, one-story stucco home, the volunteers worked tirelessly in the heat and humidity of south Florida, advancing the home towards completion.
As with every Habitat for Humanity project, the construction or refurbishment of the home, as well as painting and other needs, are completed entirely by volunteers. However, the family moving into the home is also required to contribute ‘sweat equity’ and fulfill over 200 hours of labor per able adult. The four-person family moving into the Jupiter home will begin a 30-year mortgage upon moving in, but they will not be required to provide a down payment.
