Housing Development Alliance

Housing Development Alliance, Inc. (HDA) is a nonprofit affordable housing developer serving low-income families in Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, and Perry counties in Appalachian Eastern Kentucky. Founded in 1993, HDA routinely builds 18-20 homes per year and completes 60-65 home repairs & rehabilitations. Due to the 2022 & 2025 flood disasters in our region, these numbers have now doubled! In addition, HDA provides housing counseling, affordable rental units, community redevelopment projects (in partnerships with local government), disaster recovery, and Hope Building - a paid, on-the-job training program in home construction for men and women in substance use recovery. Our Hope Building program builds homes for middle-income families, who often need housing help but are just outside the income limits for assistance in our income-based Homeownership Program. Our mission is to use the power of housing to transform lives and build a brighter future for our community.
