Our Mission
Builders Care is the non-profit charitable arm of the Tallahassee Builders Association. Its mission is to provide emergency repairs and construction services to the elderly, disabled, and economically disadvantaged people who are unable to obtain home repairs through traditional means. How it Works
The TBA Builders Care committee accepts applications from within 4 counties: Leon, Gadsd
en, Jefferson and Wakulla. Our core mission is review each project for its own unique needs to assure that Builders Care can provide the needed services. Our committee adheres to the following timeline:
• On an ongoing basis, Builders Care accepts applications for in-kind construction assistance from homeowners or other non-profit organizations.
• Potential projects are then reviewed by our project selection committee and the TBA Board of Directors.
• When a Builders Care project is officially adopted, TBA recruits a Builder Captain and/or Trade Partners to help spearhead the project.
• TBA works with the Builder Captain to secure donated labor, materials and related construction development services from trade partners.
• In partnership with local media and our trade partners, we help promote our joint projects and the volunteer efforts of our Builder Captains and trade partners.
• The TBA board and staff serves as the liaison between agencies and the building industry throughout the process. We invest in our Builders Care program efforts via our in-kind contributions donated by our members; through donations of construction products and services and through partnerships with other like organizations so that we can help keep vulnerable populations safely housed while improving their quality of life. Because we have access to the professional resources of the home building industry, the TBA is able to provide these projects with high quality labor, materials and construction expertise that would otherwise cost the homeowners or organizations significantly more, both in terms of time spent to seek out and hire
