The House that Tech Built


Inspired by the leadership and innovation of our local tech scene,  Habitat Chicago has launched The House That Tech Built – a volunteer initiative brand new to Chicago and exclusively for tech companies.
 

Crash Course

Employees from Chicago tech companies are rolling up their sleeves to build and fund the future home of the Martin family. With our valued tech partners, we have two big goals:

1. Raise the $150,000 needed to construct the home.
2. Build the Martin family home from start to finish and have them moved in by the end of 2018. 

 

Basic Data

The Martin home will be the 15th Habitat Chicago home constructed on 119th and S. Union Ave in the West Pullman neighborhood (a formerly vacant block.) 

From April 27th - October 26th, two Fridays each month will be reserved exclusively for companies participating in The House that Tech Built. All build days run from 8am-3pm.


Volunteer day activities can include anything it takes to build a home from start to finish. No construction experience is necessary - in fact, most of our volunteers are brand new to the world of construction. 

Whether you're painting, roofing, or landscaping, you're sure to have a rewarding experience building the framework for a stronger future. 


 

User Experience (UX)

Whether you want to get your hands dirty for a single day, or you're looking to engage several teams of employees across multiple days, your involvement is invaluable.

With the ability to customize your participation, we're sure to create an optimized experience for your team. Here's a glimpse into some of the benefits available: 

• Rewarding volunteer day(s) for your employees
• Home progress and family updates sent monthly to all volunteers - a strong connection to the Martin family guaranteed
• Invitation to the Martin family dedication day upon home completion
• Logo on site signage 
• Team photos captured on-site
• Impact report detailing the difference your team has made 
• Volunteer spots for 2-10 employees at the wall-raising day 
• Company promotion on Habitat Chicago social media pages
