Affordable Rentals
Quality, affordable rental housing in Perry County
The Housing Development Alliance owns and manages affordable rental homes and apartments in and around Hazard, Kentucky. Our rental program provides safe, well-maintained housing for individuals and families who need an affordable place to live – whether temporarily or long term.
Who Our Rentals Are For
Affordable rentals can be the right choice when homeownership isn’t feasible.
For some households, the costs of owning and maintaining a home are simply out of reach right now. For others, renting provides stability while they:
Build savings
Pay down debt
Secure steady employment
Plan for future homeownership
Our rental homes offer a healthy, stable place to live without forcing families to leave the community, schools, or support systems they rely on.
About Our Rental Program
- Most of our rental homes are income-qualified, meaning households must meet certain income guidelines. We also offer a small number of rentals at standard market rates.
- Currently located in or near Hazard (Perry County)
- Owned and maintained by the Housing Development Alliance
- Designed to be high quality, accessible, and affordable
We maintain our properties carefully and respond promptly to tenant needs. Because of this, turnover is low and most units remain fully occupied.
Availability & Waiting List
Because demand for affordable housing is high, HDA maintains a waiting list for rental units.
Here’s how it works:
Interested individuals or families contact HDA
Our staff reviews eligibility and collects required information
Eligible applicants are placed on the waiting list
When a unit becomes available, applicants are contacted in chronological order
While openings are limited, we encourage eligible households to apply so they are on file when vacancies occur.
