Five Women-Led Households Break Ground at Cotton Groves
In late August 2026, we celebrated a groundbreaking at the newest phase of our Cotton Groves Development on Kings Row, a new five-plex townhome with all five new homeowners being women heads of household. Congratulations to these women, and their families. We look forward to working alongside you as your new homes take shape and to with celebrate you and your families at your home blessing at the end of the year. Our new homeowners and our CEO Stephannie Krunglevich.
Ramona Lewis
Meet Ramona Lewis, the homeowner whose home we are near finishing. Ramona grew up on this property and what started as a repair project quickly turned into a demolition and rebuilding. Click the image below to hear Ramona tell her story to WFAA-TV in Dallas on our Community Build Day on Aug. 15.

Help Bring Five Families Home for Christmas
Cotton Groves is our 35-home townhome community in McKinney, designed to create lasting opportunities for local families to build strength, stability and a future through affordable homeownership.
Today, three of the seven planned townhome buildings are complete, and families are already calling Cotton Groves home. Now, we’ve broken ground on our next five-plex on Kings Row — five new homes for five hardworking Collin County families.
Our goal is simple: bring all five families home before Christmas.
This North Texas Giving Day, your gift helps us turn that goal into front doors, kitchens, bedrooms and a place to finally call home. Every contribution helps move these five homes from foundation to finish line — and five families closer to celebrating the holidays in homes of their own.
Five homes. Five families. One community helping bring them home for Christmas.
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity of Collin County brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
PRINCIPLES
We are part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian Principles and are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide.
RELATIONSHIPS
We encourage positive relationships throughout the community by advocating for fair housing policies and providing training to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
Every family deserves a safe, stable place to call home. Your support helps Habitat for Humanity of Collin County build affordable and workforce housing, creating brighter futures for local families.
At The Cotton Groves, our largest neighborhood project yet, we're building a 35-family townhome community in McKinney. Your gift will help fund the next two buildings and move us closer to welcoming 7 families home by Christmas.
The reality of building affordable housing comes with significant costs. Just to give you an idea of how much a new home project costs from the ground up, the following expenses are just a few per unit costs expected for our upcoming 6-plex townhome project:
🔨 Foundation (per unit): $20,000
🔧 Plumbing: $13,820
⚡ Electrical: $11,775
📋 Pre-construction permits: $16,725
🏗️ Framing & exterior work: $66,185
🧱 Insulation & drywall: $3,900
And that's only part of what's needed to bring these homes to life.
Families like Ramona Lewis's, whose unsafe home was replaced with a newly built Habitat home, and the Rodriguez family of seven, who are preparing for the life-changing opportunity of homeownership, are proof of what's possible.
Habitat homeowners invest 250 to 500 hours of sweat equity, working alongside volunteers to help build their homes and strengthen their futures.
No gift is too small. Whether you help cover a permit, a portion of a foundation, or essential building materials, your donation moves us one step closer to providing affordable housing and creating new opportunities for local families.
Your donation helps provide:
🏠 Strength through a safe, stable home
💙 Stability through affordable mortgage payments
🔨 Self-reliance through hard work, skills, and pride
Make your gift today and help local families build hope, stability, and a better future.
We believe in a world where everyone — no matter who we are or where we come from — deserves a decent place to live. And we recognize that, to create this world, our work must always break down barriers, bring people of all backgrounds together, and generate equity, respect and lasting change.
