Numerous colonia groups, housing officials, UTPA, HUD, USDA, and AEP were among those represented at a house warming celebration in Edcouch on Thursday for the first eight families to move into in the first silver LEED certified neighborhood in South Texas. Proyecta Azteca administered the building of the 32 homes.

Samuel and Yolanda Gonzalez received a certificate and a basket of items for the home as they moved into a new silver LEED certified home in Edcouch. The Gonzalez family put 550 sweat equity hours of work into the building of their home. Because the homes are energy efficient the Gonzalez family will have lower monthly bills.

Proyecto Azteca, an award winning self-help housing program, was founded over 20 years ago by the United Farm Workers, Texas Rural Legal Aid, and the Texas Low Income Housing Service to fulfill a dream of Cesar Chavez to provide decent and affordable housing for colonia residents and migrant workers.

Rebecca Harrington, the former United Farm Workers leader in South Texas, had a new street named in her honor in a new subdivision in Edcouch on Thursday.
