On June 17, Collin County Habitat for Humanity broke ground on its 100th home in McKinney, Texas, which will be donated to an eight-year Navy veteran. Habitat for Humanity of Collin County has partnered with The City of McKinney and McKinney Community Development Corporation for more than 30 years to build affordable homes for local families in need.
Their 100th build welcomes a new family to the town of McKinney after years of housing insecurity, Local Profile reports.
This 100th Habitat home is being built for Marion McFarland, an 8-year Navy veteran who, after many years struggling with housing insecurity, will finally call McKinney home.
“We have been displaced and struggling to stay together for many years now,” said McFarland. “Having something to call our own is going to feel great. My kids have been waiting since childhood for a house of their own. Never give up. Sometimes you may get discouraged, but don’t let it get you down.”
