WASHINGTON, DC — The Home Builders Care Victims’ Relief Fund has closed its books after distributing almost $10 million donated by the nation’s home building industry to victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“The nation’s housing industry responded generously to help the victims of last year’s tragic events,” said Robert L. Mitchell, chairman of the effort and the 2000 president of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). “Ultimately, the fund collected almost twice its original goal, and I’m proud to report that all of the donations went to people in need of assistance. None of the money was used for administrative expenses.”
