🤝 Partnering with organizations that share our goal of building more affordable and resilient housing, we collaborate to scale up impact. 🍁 The most recent example is the completion of the Kingston Homes for Heroes project in Canada. 🏡 The project provides a caring, innovative, and comprehensive solution for homeless veterans by building unique, affordable urban villages in cities across Canada to help them get back on their feet. 🏗 As a project partner to the Homes For Heroes Foundation, Holcim is donating decorative Artevia concrete as well as other aggregates and concretes to build these communities in Canada. It has been an honor to see this project from ground-breaking to completion, and we hope that it serves the veteran community for many years to come. 🔗 Find out more about this project and others that we have to help our communities thrive: https://ow.ly/EKHK50SqYeJ #SustainableConstruction #BuildingProgress #SustainableBuilding #AffordableHousing
