Second Use Building Materials, Inc. Competitors

Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in your local area and around the world, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. Since our founding in 1976 as a Christian organization, together we have helped more than 62 million people in countries around the world build their futures on their own terms through access to decent housing. We’ve done that by working alongside people of all walks of life to build, repair and finance their homes, by innovating new ways of building and financing, and by advocating for policies that make constructing and accessing housing easier for everyone. Together, we build homes, communities and hope. To learn more, visit habitat.org.

Second Chance, Inc. is a Baltimore-based social enterprise that creates "green collar jobs" for displaced workers by taking apart (deconstructing) buildings that would otherwise be demolished and dumped in a landfill. We then offer the reclaimed materials and other donated items to the public at a discount in our 200,000 sq ft retail warehouse, helping fund our workforce development programs. Preserving the region’s rich architectural heritage, protecting the environment, and providing living-wage jobs to those with employment barriers is why we've been proud to be called "Second Chance" for over 16 years.
