NOTE: Our video lists 22 as the number of homes built, but we were able to add one more in 2021!
Affordable housing is a real win-win-win. Homeowners get a safe, decent, affordable house. It's also good for the local economy. At Allais in Hazard, we partnered with the City to tear down an eyesore, and then, we turned it into a community of 15 new homes - that's 15 taxpayers, 15 customers, 15 families that may have children in the local school system. Housing is economic development.
Without our funders, donors, and supporters, the hope of owning a new home would have remained a dream for our 23 new homeowners. Completing months of Housing Counseling to prepare for homeownership and up to 150 hours of sweat equity, these individuals and families steadily worked towards the purchase of their HDA home – a home made affordable for them through your support!
There are so few houses in this area that are built and sold for less than $200,000-$250,000. So many folks in our area want to be homeowners but can’t afford to buy homes at those prices on the salaries they make. It’s hard to afford a house when you’re making $10 to $12 an hour. This project gives us an opportunity to build 15 affordable houses for families in Perry County.”
HDA’s Home Repair Program is designed to help very low and low-income households access loans and grants for home repairs completed by HDA carpenters. Repairs range from critical and accessibility repairs to home rehabilitation, which involves two or more major repair projects.
"This home was my father’s and was built in 1986. It hasn’t really changed much, if any. All I was really hoping for was a refinanced heat pump, but I ended up with so much more than what I was looking for! My house looks a lot better, and it feels a lot better.
A single woman ain’t got anyone to depend on, but I have been so blessed. The Lord always steps in at the right time. I’m telling everyone I know! It’s all so nice. My grandson and I are thrilled."

Home Repair Client
"We just never thought we could get all of these repairs done. My wife has severe back problems and couldn't get in and out of the bathtub. She also hadn't come through our front door in years, because she couldn't make it up the steps.
There couldn't be a better repair crew anywhere! They do good work, and they care about people. They want things done right, and they're trustworthy. Our house is much nicer! We're tickled to death with it."
-Granville & Clara,
Home Repair Clients
"Calling HDA was the best decision we ever made! We couldn't have afforded this ourselves. We appreciate the help, and the crew did such great work. They really care. The repairs have made a world of difference! We're just so grateful."
-Kermit & Eva,
Home Repair Clients
“You all will never know how much this ramp means to me, because I have trouble walking. Even just walking from the car to the house, I could tell a world of difference! I appreciate it so much. I talk about it so much to everybody, and they’ve all bragged on it. If you all had done just that one thing, it would have been enough for me. But you all fixed my roof, too, and it’s been a blessing this winter.
I never in my lifetime thought that I’d have help like this. I really needed it! When it’s nice out like today, I walk up and down this ramp to get a little exercise. I love you all for it!”
