SUMMARY: The North Alabama Homebuilding Academy recently received a $500,000 grant from the Lowe’s Foundation to expand its workforce development program. This funding will help launch satellite programs across Alabama, offering free training for careers in the homebuilding industry. The academy aims to address a significant worker shortage, with the average age of workers in the industry at 57. The Lowe’s Foundation, originally planning to award $250,000, doubled the contribution after learning about the academy’s impact. The grant supports efforts to train skilled workers and replicate successful programs statewide.
