Habitat for Humanity of Denton County celebrated a significant milestone on Friday with the groundbreaking ceremony for the historic Habitat Village project, a future 35-home community in southeast Denton, according to a news release from the organization.
The event was held at Gohlke Pools, 1115 Duncan St., across the street from the future community. Key figures from the local community joined in the festivities, including Habitat for Humanity of Denton County Board President Brian Strohl, Texas House Rep. Richard Hayes, Denton City Council Member Vicki Byrd, Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree and Denton Mayor Gerard Hudspeth.
“Their presence underscored the importance of this initiative in addressing housing needs and fostering community development,” the organization said in a statement. “The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by community members who have steadfastly supported Habitat for Humanity of Denton County throughout its journey.”
Habitat Village will provide affordable homes to people in need over the next five to 10 years. With it, HHDC wants to help dozens of families unable to find affordable housing.
“The Habitat Village project represents a significant step towards addressing the pressing need for affordable housing in Denton County,” HHDC said in a statement. “With construction set to begin this year, the community eagerly anticipates the transformation of this 8-acre lot into a thriving neighborhood where families can build brighter futures.”
