Shiloh Place, a nonprofit organization that supports single mothers, has opened new apartments in McKinney. The community, located in East McKinney, features two residential buildings with eight units each. Each apartment has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a full-size kitchen.

Supporting Single Mothers

Shiloh Place provides basic needs for single mothers like housing, childcare, and utilities. While single mothers are enrolled in the program, they have to be enrolled full-time in a degree or certificate program and work part-time. Shiloh Place CEO Eppy Thern thanked nearly 300 people who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony held in June.

The organization helps single mothers gain financial independence and personal wholeness by addressing physical, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. Multiple firms partnered together to develop the project, including McKinney-based development firm Craig International.

Craig International President James Craig said the project was “one of many examples” why McKinney is “such a special place to live.” It was a “team effort” and the community was “blessed and fortunate” to have so many firms willing to donate their time and services.
