Shelter is one of the most basic needs, but is often one of the most costly to have, resulting in many individuals facing homelessness. As an organization dealing in building (arguably) the most important part of buildings, National Women in Roofing sought to be a part of the solution.
On June 6, Bliss Roofing in Clackamas, Ore., partnered with the NWiR Oregon Council and Home Building Foundation to reroof the Project Homeless Connect Washington County building. Home Building Foundation facilitates the construction or renovation of housing for the temporarily homeless, so as part of that mission, it coordinated the restoration efforts of the Project Homeless Connect building, which aids those experiencing homelessness.
