On June 9th, we were given the chance to visit Thompson Branch with the Robertson Scholar Board of Directors. Every year, two Robertson Scholars join the HOMES family, offering unique perspectives and fresh ideas to our mission while gaining real world experience. The Robertsons spend time both in the field and the office, building houses and helping HOMES behind the scenes. Just two years ago, two such scholars were among the crew, helping to build the houses that would become the community of Thompson Branch.

We were delighted for the opportunity to host the visit, further explain our mission, and show how beneficial their partnership can be to the community. We're looking forward to many more years, many more houses, and many more people served together.

Working with Mountain Association, HOMES borrowed money to install roof top solar in 2019. To date, this system has saved HOMES $45,000 in electric bill cost!... that’s money we didn’t have to pay to the power company!

WE all know that the rapidly rising costs of electric is making it harder for small businesses to survive. The Mountain Association has been helping local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government owned properties drastically reduce utility bills. Mountain Association identifies opportunities to save energy and dollars. Then, they walk through each step to make that happen. As energy rates continue to skyrocket, investing in efficient solutions today can help create long-term stability in the years ahead.

If you own a business or know of a local organization that could benefit from reducing their electric bill, contact Mountain Association to learn more at https://mtassociation.org/energy/

We are very pleased to help Clova and her family with an affordable housing solution at Chestnut Ridge in Knott County, Ky! To learn more about houses presently available at Chestnut Ridge call Cindy at 606.632.1717.

May is Affordable Housing Month, and Fahe is celebrating the people and organizations making a difference in Appalachia amid the affordable housing crisis.

After a flood in 2022, Clova Short spent three years in her flood-ravaged home in eastern Kentucky. She searched for somewhere safe, affordable, and accessible for her granddaughter.

Fahe Member H.O.M.E.S. Inc. helped Clova and her family find a home that met their needs, with a mortgage payment less than the cost of renting and electric bills lower than what she was paying.

“This home is a blessing, especially for my granddaughter,” Clova said. “I don’t have to worry every time it rains that it will flood again, and I am just so thankful.”

Clova and her family are why Housing Can't Wait.

Wow! Just look at Chestnut Ridge 🤯🏡

This isn’t just a housing site… it’s a full-scale transformation. Built on reclaimed mine land in Eastern Kentucky, Chestnut Ridge is bringing together water, sewer, roads, underground utilities, sidewalks, green space—and most importantly, energy efficient quality homes for our region.

What makes this even more powerful? It’s the result of unprecedented collaboration between private partners, public investment, and foundation support, all working together to create real housing solutions within a short commute to Pikeville, Prestonsburg, Hazard, Hindman, and Whitesburg.

🚨 Now the opportunity: We still have homes available for qualified buyers!

If you’ve been looking for a place to call home, or know someone who has, this could be it.

📞 Call Cindy at HOMES, Inc. at 606-632-1717 to learn more

A day to celebrate 🎉🏡

Today, we closed on Dewey’s house, the last home on Thompson Branch! After everything Dewey has endured since the flood, including over 40 months living in a small camper, this moment feels especially meaningful. He’s now settled into a brand-new solarized house where the electric bills are estimated to be under $24/ month…best of all, this home will never flood!

The team fro Brethren Disaster Ministries joined us to mark the occasion with a house blessing for Dewey and his neighbor Jane, making the day even more special.

We are incredibly grateful for the many partnerships and supporters who helped make The Cottages at Thompson Branch a reality. 💙🙌
