Westlake Royal Building Products Celebrates 300th Home Built with Habitat for Humanity - MidOhio
Together with Habitat for Humanity - MidOhio, Westlake Royal Building Products recently celebrated a historic milestone with the dedication of the 300th home to feature the company’s donated siding and trim materials in the Ohio region. On Thursday, Sept. 15, the three-bedroom, two-bath single family home was dedicated and keys were turned over to the partner family in the South Linden neighborhood of Columbus.
The dedication of this house marks the 300th siding donation that Westlake Royal has made to Habitat MidOhio over the last 20 years. For this home, Westlake Royal donated 20 squares of siding, including Exterior Portfolio Vinyl Siding and Portsmouth Shake & Shingles Siding, as well as Royal Shutters, Mounts and Vents accessories. Westlake Royal’s Columbus-based employees also donated their time and skills to help with installing the building products during the construction of the home this summer.
“Amid inflation and rising costs, the need for affordable housing today is greater than it’s ever been,” said Steve Booz, VP of Marketing & Product Management at Westlake Royal Building Products. “Westlake Royal is proud to be part of the solution in donating building products for good quality, single-family homes. Our partnership with Habitat MidOhio dates back through several company name changes and decades, but our commitment to this organization and the community of Columbus remains unchanged.”
“When we invest in housing, we invest in the future of the entire community,” said E.J. Thomas, President and CEO of Habitat MidOhio. “Thanks to the contributions of Westlake Royal, Habitat MidOhio has brought the dream of homeownership to 300 families. We are grateful for the generous support of our donors and volunteers, and look forward to continuing our work of providing quality, affordable housing to our family partners.”
In January 2021, Habitat MidOhio celebrated the dedication of its 1,000th home. The organization works to bring people together to inspire hope, build homes, empower families and develop communities. For the past 35 years, Habitat MidOhio has served families through new home builds/rehabs (437), owner-occupied home repairs (350), and tithe support to its sister affiliates in Africa (331).
