Skilled Labor Fund contributes money to address labor shortage
The Skilled Labor Fund, through the National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), provided over $57,000 to address the shortage of skilled labor entering the residential construction market. The funding was delivered to the Home Builders Institute's Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program (PACT).
"This funding went to work immediately to launch skilled trades training in 15 high schools," said Ted Mahoney, a member of the Fund's Operating Committee and chairman-elect of the Endowment.
