Residents of Eastern Kentucky flood impacted counties     

THERE IS A

HOUSING CRISIS

IN APPALACHIA

A small Appalachian town sits nestled in a lush green valley, with tree-covered hills rising in the background under a clear blue sky. The town features a mix of homes, historic buildings, and a central road lined with cars and community activity.

It’s felt in the empty lots where homes once stood, in a reliance on few and costly rentals, in the long drives to difficult jobs, and in the determination of families doing their best to make it through another day.

IS TACKLING

THE CRISIS

For over 45 years, we have led the charge to solving housing challenges others said were too hard or too rural. That didn’t stop us.

We’ve built and restored thousands of homes, invested billions into communities, and created stability for families while strengthening entire towns.

Construction workers build the frame of a new house, surrounded by lumber, tools, and scaffolding on a clear, sunny day. The structure is set against a backdrop of tree-covered hills, signaling progress and hope in a rural or mountainous community.

Seeking Housing?
