At HDA, every home we build is designed to be durable, energy-efficient, and affordable for the families who live in them. While no two HDA homes are exactly alike, all of our floor plans are created with the same goal: helping households become successful homeowners for the long haul.
We build homes of varying sizes, layouts, and styles, and homeowners are able to personalize many finishes – such as colors, flooring, and fixtures – depending on the project and funding source. Most importantly, every home is designed to stay within a household’s approved budget and mortgage limits.
Explore our floor plans below to see what HDA homes look like and to start imagining what home could look like for you.
Every HDA home is constructed by our professional building crew using high-quality materials and modern building practices. All homes meet strict energy-efficiency standards and are ENERGY STAR® certified.
On average, families living in HDA homes save more than $900 per year on utility costs, helping make homeownership more affordable month after month.
Our floor plans are our starting point – not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Most plans can be modified slightly to meet household needs
In limited cases, plans may be customized, especially to accommodate accessibility or disability-related needs
Older or non-active plans may still be used in specific situations
These are HDA’s most commonly built, income-qualified home designs. Homes are grouped by housing tier, which reflects household income ranges and helps ensure long-term affordability.
What does “tier” mean?
In affordable homeownership, housing tiers are used to match home size and cost to a household’s income level. This approach helps ensure homes remain affordable for both current and future homeowners.

Because these homes often include additional square footage or features, they generally have a higher sales price and are built in smaller numbers.

In response to historic flooding in Eastern Kentucky, the state identified several high-ground sites for new residential development. These communities are designed to provide safe, resilient housing for flood-impacted households.
HDA builds homes at multiple high-ground sites in partnership with other nonprofit builders.
Chestnut Ridge is a planned residential community located above the floodplain in Leburn, KY. The site spans more than 100 acres and will include approximately 147 homes, walking trails, and outdoor recreation areas.
Flood-impacted households from the 2022 and 2025 floods receive priority access.

Exploring floor plans is often the first step toward homeownership. If you’re interested in owning an HDA home – or want to learn whether you may be eligible – we’re here to help.
1. Is there a cost for home repairs?
Yes – but repairs are made affordable. Most homeowners receive a combination of grants and low-interest loans based on income, household size, and the type of repair needed. We will explain all costs before any work begins.
2. Do I have to own my home to qualify?
Yes. The home must be owner-occupied, meaning you own the home and live in it. We are not able to repair homes you plan to move into or homes owned by someone else.
3. What kinds of repairs can you help with?
We focus on critical health and safety repairs, accessibility improvements, and major home rehabilitations. This can include roofs, floors, plumbing, electrical issues, ramps, HVAC (through a subcontractor), and more. Cosmetic repairs are generally not eligible.
4. How long will it take to hear back after I get started?
Due to high demand – especially following recent flood disasters – response and wait times are longer than usual. After you submit the Get Started form, our staff will contact you when your request reaches the next step. We appreciate your patience.
5. Why are there two forms?
We use two forms to make the process easier and more efficient for homeowners. The Get Started form is a short first step that lets us understand your situation and determine which repair programs may be a good fit. After reviewing that information, an HDA staff member will contact you to talk through next steps. The Home Repair Intake form is the full application and collects detailed information needed to determine eligibility and funding options. Most people begin with Get Started – our team will help you from there.
6. Does flooding affect my eligibility?
We assist homeowners who were affected or impacted by flooding, whether repairs are flood-related or not. Flood-related needs may qualify for specific funding sources, but all requests are reviewed individually.
Please fill out this contact form and let us know what kind of help you need. A member of our staff will contact you ASAP.
