The SHBA is addressing the current shortage of housing, workforce, and the environmental impact of basic housing growth by launching an industry-funded 2-year program to teach students engineering & sustainable building practices. Students learn about green building materials and renewable energy while building a tiny home which is then sold or auctioned in order to help cover next year's program costs.

​

Students are exposed to the following skill areas through classroom learning and hands-on exposure:

​

• Blueprint reading

• Electrical

• Energy efficiency

• Finish carpentry

• Framing

• Plumbing

• Renewable energy

• Roofing

• Safety

• Sheet metal work

• Siding

• Sustainable building
