Located in the Appalachian Mountains of southeastern Kentucky, the Housing Development Alliance, or HDA, is a nonprofit affordable housing developer serving the housing needs of low-income families and individuals. Our new home construction and home repair projects are completed by our staff carpenters with local subcontractors, and we utilize volunteer labor for several key tasks to help us speed construction. These tasks include building ramps and porches, installing new flooring, roof repair, painting, framing, and roofing. Our organization serves four of the poorest counties in Appalachia and in the nation – Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, and Perry counties in East Kentucky, where persistent poverty has held firm for over 50 years. The programs and services we offer are designed to help low-income people become more financially stable and build wealth by having new and better homes they can afford.
