Westlake Royal Building Products and Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio are celebrating the 400th home supported by their more than 20-year partnership, marking a milestone in their efforts to expand access to affordable housing throughout central Ohio. To commemorate the milestone, Westlake Royal donated products for the home on Aug. 18, 2026.

“Supporting 400 Habitat MidOhio homes is a milestone we're incredibly proud to celebrate,” said Steve Booz, vice president of marketing, Westlake Royal Building Products. “For more than two decades, we have helped provide building materials that contribute to safe, durable and affordable homes for families across Central Ohio. The work of the Habitat MidOhio team strengthens the communities where we live and work makes this milestone especially meaningful. We look forward to continuing our partnership and helping more families achieve homeownership in the years ahead.”

The 400th home is a 1,188-square-foot, two-story, three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family residence. Westlake Royal donated and installed Exterior Portfolio’s Parkview Double 4” Dutchlap vinyl siding in Canyon, complemented by Portsmouth Shake Double 7” Cedar Shingles in Espresso on the front upper gable. Together, these products provide a durable, low-maintenance exterior designed to enhance the home's appearance and long-term performance.

“Reaching the 400th home supported by Westlake Royal Building Products’ siding donation program is an incredible milestone, and we are so grateful to Westlake Royal for being such a longstanding and committed partner in our work,” said Brandi Al-Issa, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio. “For years, their generous donation of siding has helped us provide families across central Ohio with homes that are safe, durable and built to last. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate not only the 400th home, but the partnership and shared commitment to creating stronger communities that made this milestone possible. We are proud to celebrate alongside the Westlake Royal Building Products team and look forward to all that we can accomplish together in the years ahead.”

Since the partnership began in 2002, Westlake Royal has donated siding materials for 400 Habitat MidOhio homes. Beyond providing exterior materials for new home construction, Westlake Royal’s contributions also help advance Habitat MidOhio’s broader housing initiatives, including its critical home repair program that assists existing homeowners throughout Central Ohio.
