As spring approaches, Habitat for Humanity of Collin County (HHCC) is gearing up to begin construction in Princeton on a new home on Harrelson Drive.

Last year, Habitat volunteers built an 1,180-square-foot house for Amanda Martinez and her two daughters. The wall raising was on Jan. 14 and the dedication on Oct. 11.

Meanwhile, The Meadows Foundation has provided a grant in support of Habitat’s mission to repair and renovate homes for vulnerable populations in Collin County.

“With this funding, we will be able to address critical repair needs in the homes of low-income families, elderly individuals, veterans, and persons with disabilities throughout Collin County,” CEO Sam Lawrence said.
