McKinney shipping container home community takes shape

“We’re providing a community to families to grow and work together and be sustainable,” said Celeste Haiduk-Cox of Habitat for Humanity of Collin County.

MCKINNEY, Texas — After years of planning, the Cotton Groves subdivision in McKinney is starting to take shape. The low-income home community made out of shipping containers is a novel concept for Texas and the U.S.

In August, Habitat for Humanity of Collin County held a kick-off party to introduce the first six families who have applied and been approved for a container home.
