Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

North Collin County Habitat for Humanity started in 1992 as McKinney Habitat for Humanity, an affiliate of Habitat International. In 2002, scope expanded to include North Collin County , so the name was changed to North Collin County Habitat for Humanity, Inc. The affiliate currently builds homes in McKinney , Frisco, Celina, Princeton and Melissa and also serves Prosper, Anna, Farmersville, Weston and unincorporated areas in the Northern County .

52 homes have been built as of January 2009, and 17 homes overseas.
