100 students. 20 Hammer & Saw. All of the walls for TWO two-story houses in one afternoon!

Incoming MBA students from the Simon Business School participated in their 2nd Annual Framing Frenzy with Flower City Habitat. With Hammer & Saw leadership, we completed all of the walls for 179-185 Whitney Street and 225 Campbell Street which will both be ready for the walls in a couple weeks!

Students were also taken on a bus tour of the JOSANA Neighborhood, showing them where these two houses are being constructed, touring a finished Habitat home, and learning more about Flower City Habitat and our focus in the greater JOSANA Neighborhood. These two houses will be our 91st and 92nd new homes built within a half mile of School 17!
