We help low-income families in Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, and Perry counties in Eastern Kentucky achieve their dreams of owning a new home. HDA-built homes are affordable, high quality, long-lasting, and energy efficient. We do not give away houses, and it’s rare that we sell an already-built home. Rather, families must first qualify for our program, and then, we work with them through Housing Counseling to prepare them for homeownership.
Inside or outside, our carpenters can make the improvements your home needs. Whether you need two or more major repairs, critical repairs (like a new roof, new flooring, new HVAC, etc.), or accessibility repairs (wheelchair ramps, bathroom replacement, etc.), HDA is here to make the repairs qualifying homeowners need at a price they can afford! Let’s make your home stand the test of time.
HDA offers affordable rental homes for low-income families and 1-BR and 2-BR apartments for qualifying very low and low-income applicants. We also have Single Occupancy Apartments for single homeless individuals. Please be aware that we have a limited number of rental units and very low turnover. Contact us for more information on availability and/or for a Waiting List application.
We offer group volunteering opportunities to folks from all over the country throughout the year. We welcome College Mission Trips/Alternative Breaks, Church Groups, Youth Groups, Corporate Retreats, Senior Adult Volunteer Groups, etc. We also have a Local Volunteer Program for groups from churches, schools, and businesses in the counties we serve to help out at our Volunteer Events.
A low-cost home energy assessment can find leaks and other problems that cause your home to use more energy, making your heating and cooling costs much higher than they should be. This service is available to everyone regardless of income!
Often simply called “Redbud,” our Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) uses a combination of fair loans and individualized financial education to help you build a pathway to homeownership, break free of debt, and many other dreams!
Our groundbreaking program provides paid, on-the-job training in home construction for men & women in substance use recovery. Trained by our experienced staff carpenters, our trainees not only learn the construction trade, but they also earn college certificates, improve their resumes, and build affordable homes for the workforce of Appalachian Eastern Kentucky.
Since the program's start in 2019, in partnership with local substance use recovery programs, an impressive 71% of our trainees have gone on to complete college programs and/or have secured what most substance use therapists say is the key to helping someone stay in recovery: a job!
Maryland DreamBuilders join us again this year for the Ultimate House Raising Challenge! Last year, this amazing group of volunteers framed 2 new homes in 4 days, and this year, they will help our carpenters frame 3 homes in less than a full week! What a spectacle this will be (catch all the action on Facebook) and perfect for our 30th anniversary of providing affordable new homes for our community.
Every East Kentucky family deserves a home they can afford. Help us transform lives through affordable housing!
