Celebrating Milestones and New Beginnings at Habitat MCTX

CONROE, TX -- As the new fiscal year begins for Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County (Habitat MCTX) it is a time to celebrate the extraordinary year that just ended. During the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year, -1,100 volunteers provided approximately 14,000 hours to Habitat MCTX in numerous capacities. These achievements are a testament to the unwavering support of the volunteers, donors, and community partners.

Reflecting on the Past Year

New Homes Sold: We provided new homes to 11 deserving, hard-working families. Each family now has a safe, affordable place to call home. We thank our loyal Home Sponsors, including Chevron Phillips Chemical and Phillips 66, John Cooper School, Momentum Title, Women Build Too - Can Do Crew, The Woodlands Methodist Church, Fitness Project, Oxy, St. Simon and Jude Catholic Church, CenterPoint Energy, Ovintiv, Granite, First America Homes, and the Longwell Family Foundation, and our faithful Habitat MCTX annual donors.

New Homes Started: Construction also began on four new homes for Helen, Jeanette, Margaret, Mario, and Ruth, bringing hope and stability to these future homeowners. We are excited to dedicate their homes later this fall officially.

Home Recycled: We recycled one existing property and fixed it up for new owners, ensuring it continues to serve a deserving family.

Critical Home Repairs: Through our Critical Home Repair Program, we served 38 families and completed 46 individual repair projects. These repairs helped owners maintain their homes by addressing essential safety and accessibility. We were able to complete these repairs thanks to funding from many generous partners, including LGI Homes, Houston Methodist, Texas Veterans Commission, Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation, Montgomery County Community Development, Tomball Regional Health Foundation, Montgomery County Community Foundation, Home Depot Foundation, Habitat for Humanity Housing Plus Grant, and our faithful Habitat MCTX annual donors. We invite everyone to read our blog about these families’ inspiring stories.?

ReStore: The store that builds homes. During 2023 - 2024, the ReStore received 4,849 donations of gently used home furnishing, building, and décor items. The sales of these items contributed significantly to our mission, diverting 688 tons of material out of landfills. We are excited to announce two new initiatives at our ReStore: an online eBay presence and a deconstruction program. Be sure to check them out.

Commitment to Affordable Housing

Habitat MCTX continues to support the community by servicing 110 loans and helping families secure safe housing and affordable mortgages. Our work would not be possible without our volunteers’ dedication and our community partners’ generosity.
