The House of Dreams 
This beautiful home in Dexter, Michigan was built entirely from our members donations
and labor to benefit charities for the Association's 50th anniversary in 2006.

The proceeds from the sale of this beautiful new home have been donated to the following housing-related charities:


      Avalon Housing:  A community based non-profit organization
                                             providing affordable housing to those in need.


Washtenaw Home Builders Association Foundation               BRAG Ann Arbor Foundation:  Supporting building industry 
                                             workforce 
development, training, and education initiatives.


                    Neighborhood Senior Services:  Providing support and home 
                                             maintenance for low-income seniors to stay in their homes.


                        Washtenaw Affordable Housing Corporation:  Serving local communities 
                                              with affordable housing solutions.

In recognition of the BRAG Ann Arbor's 50th anniversary in 2006, the members of the
Builders & Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor Foundation started a community
service initiative called the House of Dreams. We had over 100 members support the
project with labor, materials, and funding.  The beautiful, brand new home in West Ridge
of Dexter had all the net proceeds from the sale of the house donated to local community
charities. The house was constructed through contributions from BRAG Ann Arbor members
and the community at large.

“The House of Dreams was a great way for members of the BRAG Ann Arbor and the
residential construction industry to collectively contribute back to the community that
all of us live and work in,” according to 2005 BRAG Ann Arbor President David Rhoads.

space in the basement and was completed, displayed, and sold during the June of 2006.
