Habitat for Humanity of Collin County is selling its longtime building located at 2060 Couch Drive in McKinney, according to a July 8 news release.
The overview
The building currently houses the nonprofit’s administrative offices and ReStore facility, a store that sells new and gently used home furnishings, according to its website. Habitat for Humanity of Collin County, an affiliate of the global nonprofit housing organization, serves local families by providing opportunities for affordable homeownership.
The nonprofit will continue to operate without interruption during the transition and remains committed to ongoing projects and partnerships throughout the region, the news release states. CEO Stephannie Krunglevich said the building has been an “important part” of the organization’s history.
“However, it no longer supports the way we serve our community or the scale at which we need to operate,” Krunglevich said in a statement. “By selling the Couch Drive property, we are creating an opportunity to invest in spaces that better fit our team, enhance accessibility for the families we serve, and allow us to expand our capacity as the need for affordable housing in our county continues to grow.”
Looking ahead
Selling the property “reflects a proactive effort” to position the organization for continued growth and increased impact, the news release states. The organization is working to identify a new location to house operations.
Scott Elliott, chairperson of the organization’s board of directors, said they are looking for locations that are more accessible to the communities that Habitat serves while providing space for team growth.
“As our project volume increases and the demand for affordable housing solutions expands, it is critical that our facilities support our ability to respond,” Elliott said in a statement.
Additional details about future locations will be shared by the organization as they become available, according to the news release.
