Habitat for Humanity of New York City is using Insulating Concrete Forms in the construction of nine Brooklyn homes.
Habitat is building the homes in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, using ICFs in an effort to make the homes energy-efficient.
The nine families who will own the homes have contributed 300 hours of "sweat equity" per adult to the construction of the homes on Halsey Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard.
The homes are expected to be move-in ready by 2008.
