Habitat\u2019s Holiday Home Build is now in its third year of providing affordable houses on the Gulf Coast. <\/p>\n

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> chase a berth in the NFL playoffs this year, the franchise and players pitched in to\u00a0 help provide housing for the needy along the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n

Several Buccaneer officials and players put on hard hats and took part in building two new affordable homes as part of Habitat for Humanity of Tampa Bay Hillsborough. It\u2019s all part of Habitat\u2019s Holiday Home Build with the Bucs<\/a>. It\u2019s the third year of the charitable effort.<\/p>\n

Rookie cornerbacks for the Bucs Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish were the first members of the Bucs roster to take part in the building project Tuesday morning. In the afternoon, Bucs defensive lineman CJ Brewer and offensive linemen Lorenz Mets joined in helping on the construction aspects. Those players were eventually joined by Bucs safety Rashad Wisdom and tight end Devin Culp who continued building well into the afternoon.<\/p>\n

But the construction on the two homes wasn\u2019t limited to just the on-field heroes for the Bucs. Buccaneer staff members who also threw their sweat equity into the project included several members of the Player Community Impact Board and the season ticket holder group known as the Krewe and some of the people who would go on to own the homes that were under construction.<\/p>\n

Habitat for Humanity\u2019s mission is to draw on community contributions to help construct and finance homes for those who might not be able to afford a home otherwise by covering much of the cost of the construction and providing affordable mortgage payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cTampa Bay\u2019s team has always believed deeply in our community,\u201d said\u00a0Kourtney Sanchez, Chief Impact Officer\u00a0for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Habitat of Tampa Bay Hillsborough to make a real and lasting impact for these families who deserve safe, stable homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new homes are part of the Windhorst Commons community in Brandon, a Habitat neighborhood with\u00a023 hurricane-resilient homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There have been more than 650 affordable homes built and renovated by the Habitat for Humanity of Tampa Bay Hillsborough since 1987.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Habitat\u2019s Holiday Home Build is now in its third year of providing affordable houses on the Gulf Coast.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[35465,8611,35466,35467,35468,35469,35470,35471,35472,35473,35474,35475,135,2964,137,136,35476],"class_list":["post-57729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-benjamin-morrison","tag-brandon","tag-cj-brewer","tag-devin-culp","tag-habitat-for-humanity-of-tampa-bay-hillsborough","tag-habitats-holiday-home-build-with-the-bucs","tag-jacob-parrish","tag-kourtney-sanchez","tag-krewe","tag-lorenz-mets","tag-player-community-impact-board","tag-rashad-wisdom","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news","tag-windhorst-commons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
