The Nebraska State Home Builders Association (NSHBA) is now accepting applications for up to three community construction or remodel projects in 2026. The Community Build program connects professional builders with Nebraska nonprofits and government agencies to help construct or renovate small facilities that support their missions and public service work.
Priority consideration will be given to projects proposed by:
- Historical societies
- Homeless shelters
- Educational and training programs
Applicants must be located near one of NSHBA’s four local chapters and have project funding already secured. Builders will provide firm bids for labor, while applicants are responsible for design and materials.
Ideal projects can be completed in one or two weekends by a teams sized up to 10 skilled workers. Licensed trades must perform any plumbing or electrical work, but all other labor, tools, and equipment will be provided at cost by homebuilder volunteers. Project funding remains the responsibility of the nonprofit applicant.
