Home Builders Care Foundation mourns the loss of our Founder Bob Mitchell, who passed away on Nov 12, 2025. As stated in NAHB's tribute to Mr. Mitchell, he believed "home builders have a unique responsibility to serve the needs of growing communities." HBCF is forever grateful for Mr. Mitchell's commitment to philanthropy and vision to "see the building industry making tangible contributions into the communities we helped to build in the first place."

On September 24 at Lone Oak Farm Brewing, the exceptional team from Elm Street Development was honored with the Home Builders Care Foundation's 2025 Robert L. Mitchell Founders Award!
The Founders Award recognizes a lifetime of leadership and commitment to community and charitable service and is our charity’s highest honor. The award was presented at HBCF’s annual Bull & Oyster Roast, our charity’s signature celebratory event. Proceeds from the event will support Home Builders Care and its charitable construction program. The leaders of Elm Street understand the value of HBCF’s mission of giving back to community. Founded in 1977, Elm Street Development has grown into one of the region’s largest privately-owned developers. Over the last four decades, they have developed over 350 distinguished communities with more than 70,000 homes. The entire team from Elm Street not only live and work locally, but they are also deeply invested in the long-term viability of the communities they develop. Members of the Elm Street team have served in leadership positions within the Maryland Building Industry Association as well as have stepped up time and again to directly assist Home Builders Care with their invaluable time, money and expertise. We are very excited to recognize Elm Street for their long-standing commitment to Home Builders Care, especially as we continue to celebrate 40 years of charitable service. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at our 2025 event! The work we do all year long would not be possible without YOU. From purchasing tickets to sponsoring tables, to spreading the word, your support allows us to continue to do our charitable construction projects! Click here for a list of our 2025 Sponsors.

Grand Opening of the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House By The Sea II from Believe in Tomorrow website - www.believeintomorrow.org/65thstreet/# We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming Grand Opening of the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House By The Sea II — a one-of-a-kind pediatric respite home that will bring joy, comfort, and healing to critically ill children and their families. Located on the ocean block of 65th Street in Ocean City, Maryland, this brand-new facility — affectionately dubbed the Miracle on 65th Street — represents an extraordinary act of generosity from our community. Dozens of contractors, businesses, and volunteers have come together to donate their time, talent, and materials to make this dream a reality. This expansion of Believe In Tomorrow’s beach respite program features two three-bedroom townhomes and two stand-alone efficiencies, thoughtfully designed to accommodate larger families, military families, and children with limited life expectancies. Connected by a beautiful walkway to our flagship property on 66th Street, this new space will open the door for hundreds more families to step away from hospital routines and create lasting memories together. For over 15 years, Believe In Tomorrow has supported the unique needs of military families with critically ill children, recognizing the added stress of military life — frequent relocations, deployment, and separation from extended family — during medical crises. The Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House By The Sea was the first of its kind respite in the nation to focus on pediatric cancer families, and this latest expansion marks the seventh Believe In Tomorrow facility to prioritize the armed services community. Since its inception in 2005, the Believe In Tomorrow Military Initiative has provided over 40,000 overnight accommodations to U.S. military families. As the Home Builders Care Foundation’s 2024 Project of the Year, the Miracle on 65th Street stands as a powerful testament to what’s possible when compassion and community unite. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this vision to life:
Together, we’ve created more than a place to stay — we’ve built a sanctuary by the sea where courage, compassion and hope will live.  Do you have a project involving deconstruction?
