Highland begins construction on Compassion United project
HomeAid Houston, Compassion United and Highland Homes have begun construction of a 15-bed transitional living, housing unit for people facing homelessness and or addiction. This is one of several that are to be built for this project. For more than 10 years, Compassion United, a 501(c)(3) charity in Conroe has been transforming communities by serving the forgotten, marginalized and homeless by providing outreach, relief and empowerment. They have helped hundreds of people come out of homelessness and addiction to build a new life. The unit is part of Compassion’s Miracle City campus.
Compassion United and HomeAid Houston are partners with Highland Homes who is leading construction. Highland’s Matt McGhee, HHS Residential vice-president and Luke Reddus, executive director are spearheading the build.
Miracle City will include five “transition homes” in total, and HomeAid Houston has sponsored the first of those buildings. In addition to that effort, and thanks to a gracious donation by a Compassion United supporter, the full funds to construct the second Transition Home have been secured, and Highland Homes and HHS Residential have agreed to captain both projects, building them simultaneously.
Compassion United provides food, clothing, housing and the resources for medical, mental health and mentoring for their clients. With the generous support of their partners, they continue to see lives changed, with the agency having grown into the most comprehensive support ministry in Montgomery County.
“HomeAid was honored to be contacted by Highland Homes to partner with them on this project,” said Nicole Jacob, president of HomeAid.
