HOUSTON – It’s a great day 2 give back!
For the ninth year in a row, KPRC 2 has partnered with the Houston Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for deserving families in the area.
It’s a rewarding community effort as some of the KPRC 2 staff, Houston Life members and other people in the community come together to build different components of the homes.
Houston Habitat for Humanity is widely known for helping local families build a better future by providing homes to those in need.

Habitat Build Day 2
On day two of Habitat Build, volunteers with UT Health continued to build at the future home site located in northeast Houston.
Volunteers surprised future homeowner Jacoby George and announced that the home being built would belong to his family.
“I’m shocked, I didn’t know I was actually building my home today,” George said. “It’s exciting, man, I mean to put your hands on something you know, you’re building and will eventually own. Hey, I’m excited and I know my kids are gonna be excited as well.”
George said an opportunity like homeownership has been a “life goal” of his.
