After a year of hard work and more than two years of planning, a very special home is nearly complete. Northern New England Tradeswomen has been running a modular home building program
with the Vermont Correctional Facility in Windsor, Vermont. For the last year the women in the program, along with guidance and leadership from instructors with Northern New England
Tradeswomen, have worked diligently to complete a two bedroom ranch style modular home. For the women in the program it gives them a great sense of accomplishment, worth, and a feeling of
being involved in helping the community.
Customized Structures also played a large role in helping this home become a reality. All of the floor plans for construction of the home came from CSI along with some materials for
construction. In addition, CSI provided technical support during the building process. Building a modular home with a constantly changing and inexperienced crew could have proven to be
very difficult. Instead, Northern New England Tradeswomen helped the women in the program learn valuable workplace and interpersonal skills to complete their goal.
The set of the modular home will be taking place in Springfield, VT on June 5th. Northern New England Tradeswomen along with volunteers from Customized Structures and the community will
set the home. The completed home will then be finished and used as affordable housing in the town of Springfield, Vermont.
