McKinney City Council approved reconstruction of three east McKinney homes at its March 1 meeting.

Two houses on Throckmorton Street and one on Wilson Street will be rebuilt by JMR Construction. Each project will cost approximately $250,000.

The city receives money from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for the reconstruction of homes occupied by income-eligible families, according to meeting documents. The projects are 100% funded by the Community Development Block Grant program.

Each project has a 15-year affordability period, which means the owners and their families must stay in the homes for 15 years or pay back the cost of the rebuild on a pro-rata basis, said Denise Lessard, the city’s communications and media manager.
