For over 30 years, the Housing Development Alliance (HDA) has partnered with our community throughout four counties in Eastern Kentucky (Breathitt, Knott, Leslie & Perry) to build and repair homes, strengthen financial stability, and create pathways to long-term recovery – especially in the face of repeated disasters.
We help income-qualified families prepare for and achieve homeownership through new, energy-efficient homes built to last. Families work with us through housing counseling and financial preparation before purchasing a home designed for long-term stability.
From critical repairs to accessibility upgrades, our skilled crews help homeowners make essential improvements that protect health, safety, and longevity – at a cost families can afford.
We offer a limited number of affordable rental homes and apartments for low-income and very low-income households, including single-occupancy housing for individuals experiencing homelessness.
After repeated flood disasters, our focus is on lasting recovery – repairing homes outside flood zones and building new homes on higher ground so families can move forward with confidence.
Build With Us! Groups from across the country partner with HDA to support affordable housing through hands-on volunteer experiences.
In 2026, we’re expanding our impact through the Ultimate House Raising Challenge, inviting volunteer teams to play a meaningful role in building homes that will serve families for generations.
Our Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) provides fair loans and personalized financial education to help people break free from debt, prepare for homeownership, and build financial resilience.
This paid workforce training program prepares individuals in substance use disorder recovery for careers in construction while building affordable housing for Eastern Kentucky’s workforce. Since 2019, around 75% of our trainees have completed college programs and/or secured gainful employment.
