The 2020 Bishop John E McCarthy Memorial Catholic Build brings together Catholics all around Austin to build a home for a hard-working family. Funding will be used to cover the construction materials of the home.
We need to raise money to build our 24th annual Catholic Build house in the Scenic Point neighborhood in East Austin. The house will be a home for 2 hard-working parents of a new baby. The home will bring stability to the family, as they're running out of places to live in Austin.
The home will provide long-term, stable shelter for the family. No longer will they be forced to move every few months for cheaper rent. They are excited to bring up their daughter in a safe, and stable home.
Studies show that children who live in Habitat houses have a greater chance of going and graduating from college. The child in the home will have stability in her education. Both parents are in the service industry; an industry in Austin that needs long-term employees. She'll be able to put roots down, grow in their jobs, and be a vital part of Austin's career ecosystem.
