City of Frisco, Garza family celebrate first house renovated … - McKinney Courier Gazette- Home Owner Warranty

With the help of her children, most of whom still live in the Frisco area, 84-year-old Garza was the first to apply for housing rehabilitation assistance from a Community Development Block Grant administered through the city of Frisco. Frisco Mayor Mike Simpson and other city officials and Garza’s family held a ribbon cutting ceremony last Saturday to celebrate the completion of the first home renovation done with the grant funds. The city of Frisco still has $200,000 in the housing rehabilitation program to help other home owners in Frisco who qualify.

The city does not plan to do a ribbon cutting for every home that is renovated as part of the housing rehabilitation program. read more
