During FY 2024, HDA expanded its operational capacity to meet evolving housing needs in the region. Construction crews increased from 5 to 10 crews, and overall staff grew from 30 to 50 employees. This expansion reflects a deliberate investment in internal capacity to deliver housing construction and repair programs efficiently and at scale.
By the end of the fiscal year:
27 new homes were built and sold
68 home rehabilitations and repairs were completed
HDA also maintained active participation in regional housing efforts and strengthened partnerships with state agencies and community stakeholders.
HDA’s disaster recovery efforts transitioned from immediate relief to structured recovery operations following the 2022 floods. Work included constructing new homes on higher ground and coordinating rehabilitation for flood-impacted housing. Investments in staff and equipment were made to support ongoing recovery in Breathitt, Knott, and Perry counties. Meanwhile, we also continued our conventional Homeownership and Home Repair programs, serving low-income households in all four counties (including Leslie).
For FY 2024, HDA’s total annual operating budget was $13,112,552. Revenue was generated through a combination of private contributions, developer fees, and public grants.
12% was allocated to management and general operations, with less than 1% dedicated to fundraising activities.
This expense distribution aligns with best practices in nonprofit financial stewardship and emphasizes effective use of resources for mission-related outcomes.
HDA provides access to audited financial statements and IRS Form 990 filings to support external review and compliance evaluation.
