Development Provides Much-Needed Expansion to Support Shiloh Place’s Mission
Moss Construction, a top-ranked construction firm with a strong base in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and Shiloh Place, a non-profit organization serving single mothers in Collin County, recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a new housing project that will double Shiloh Place’s capacity. The new facility, approximately 16,641 square feet, will replace the existing 50 to 60-year-old buildings with modern housing, giving the organization the ability to now house 16 families. This project underscores Shiloh Place’s commitment to providing much-needed support to single mothers striving for financial stability and independence.
“We are thrilled about the expansion of Shiloh Place, which will enable us to support more families in Collin County,” said Dr. Eppy Thern, chief executive officer, Shiloh Place. “This new project is a testament to our dedication to creating lasting change by providing a hand up to single mothers who are striving to end the cycle of poverty. We are honored to have Moss Construction as our partner and cannot thank them enough for their expertise and commitment to our ministry.”
Shiloh Place’s mission is to equip single mothers with financial independence and personal wholeness by addressing their physical, educational, emotional and spiritual needs enabling them to become productive members of the workforce and their community. Moss Construction, the general contractor on the Shiloh Place housing development, is doing its part to support Shiloh Place by proudly donating its project fee to the organization as part of its commitment to giving back to the DFW market and McKinney and helping others.
“At Moss Construction, we believe that our responsibility extends far beyond the buildings we construct. We are deeply committed to the communities we serve, and this commitment is reflected in every project we undertake,” said Aaron Docsa, senior vice president of Wood-Frame for Moss Construction’s Dallas/Fort Worth region. “We are about improving lives and building hope for a better future with every project we are involved in.”
Designed by O’Brien Architects, the building will include 16 two-bedroom apartments, each with a bathroom and full-sized kitchen. The apartments surround an outdoor area that includes green space and playgrounds for the children. Other project partners include: Kimley-Horn, civil planning and landscaping; Jordan & Skala Engineers, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering; and Strand, structural engineering.
