In this episode, we look back at the events of those days through the work being done by the teams here at Kentucky Housing Corporation.
Scott McReynolds, executive director of Housing Development Alliance in Hazard, and Seth Long, executive director of HOMES, Inc. in Letcher County, discuss the recovery efforts.
Homeowners Sherry Mullins and Adam Stacey share their stories about the flooding in Eastern Kentucky and the subsequent affordable housing recovery efforts.
William and Cheyenne White lost their home in the July 2022 flooding in eastern Kentucky. In May 2023, they moved into their new house, which was built by Housing Development Alliance with support from the Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund.
Flood survivor William Gross was treated to a special groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the beginning of construction on his new house in Letcher County.
Sherry and George Mullins, who lost their home in the flash flooding of July 2022, are the first family to receive a home from the Housing Can't Wait Initiative.
From July 26 to 30, 2022, thunderstorms overwhelmed eastern Kentucky, destroying and damaging thousands of homes, and now two nonprofit developers are teaming up to address the housing need.
After tornadoes in western Kentucky, many people were left homeless. Kentucky Housing Corporation, with help from partners, created a dynamic dashboard to help those people find permanent housing.
Lifelong Lewis County residents Shirley and Les Moore owned a farm with about two acres just a few miles outside of Vanceburg in northeast Kentucky. When they could no longer tend such a large plot of land, they decided to downsize, finding Central Crossings apartments through a friend at their church who works for People’s Self-Help Housing, Inc., the nonprofit that built and manages the property. “It’s really handy,” said Shirley. “It’s close to the store. It’s close to our kids.” Les agreed. “It couldn’t have worked out any better than it is right here for us.”
