McKinney, Texas (Dec. 20, 2022) – Two families today received the keys to their newly built homes at ribbon-cutting ceremonies as part of the City of McKinney's housing rehabilitation and reconstruction program. These homes were too damaged to repair, so the city demolished and rebuilt them.

Construction took longer than anticipated due to material shortages in the construction industry, but the city is excited that they will all be home for Christmas.

Another homeowner received keys to their home on Friday, totaling three homes that were rebuilt this year by the City of McKinney. 

The city's Housing Services Division has assisted more than 60 families with down payment and closing cost assistance, tenant-based rental assistance, and rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing housing for low- and moderate-income homeowners. The Housing Rehabilitation and Reconstruction program is funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). These funds are awarded to the City of McKinney by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
