Across Eastern Kentucky, families are working to rebuild their lives, repair aging homes, and create safe places to raise children and care for loved ones. Reliable, consistent support makes that work possible. When you become a Build What Lasts Monthly Partner, you help provide steady, year-round housing solutions that families can depend on.
Housing construction, critical repairs, and disaster recovery are not one-time efforts. They require ongoing planning, reliable resources, and steady community support.
Monthly Partners help HDA:
Plan construction projects with confidence
Respond faster when disasters strike
Serve more families each year
Keep skilled crews and trainees working year-round
Sustain long-term housing solutions in Eastern Kentucky
Monthly/recurring giving transforms individual generosity into lasting community stability.
Monthly Partners provide the reliable foundation that keeps housing programs moving forward year-round. Even modest monthly gifts create lasting impact and allow HDA to serve more families each year. Donors choose how often they want to give: monthly, quarterly, annually, or even weekly.
Every monthly contribution builds momentum toward safer housing and a stronger community.
Helps supply building materials and repair essentials for housing projects.
Supports critical safety improvements that allow families and seniors to remain safely in their homes.
Helps advance affordable housing construction for families working toward homeownership.
Helps sustain full homebuilding, disaster recovery, and workforce training initiatives.
Every monthly gift — no matter the amount — helps families build stable futures.
HDA regularly hears from families and homeowners who are searching for safe housing or urgently need repairs. Monthly Partners make it possible for HDA to respond to those requests as quickly as possible.
“There are 8 of us in a single-wide trailer - me, my kids, and my parents. I would love to get a place for me and my kids to call home … Since the flood came, it has just been hard to get back on my feet.”
- Keisha, Knott County
“My floors are rotted and falling through, and I’m having problems with my septic tank. I have five grandbabies, and I don’t want them to get hurt.”
- Elizabeth, Perry County
Monthly Partners help turn messages like these into stories of safety, stability, and renewed opportunity.

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.
