Residents of Eastern Kentucky flood impacted counties

THERE IS A

HOUSING CRISIS

IN APPALACHIA

It’s felt in the empty lots where homes once stood, in a reliance on few and costly rentals, in the long drives to difficult jobs, and in the determination of families doing their best to make it through another day.

FAHE

IS TACKLING

THE CRISIS

For over 45 years, we have led the charge to solving housing challenges others said were too hard or too rural. That didn’t stop us.

We’ve built and restored thousands of homes, invested billions into communities, and created stability for families while strengthening entire towns.

Seeking Housing?

Residents of 2021, 2022, and 2025 Eastern Kentucky floods, learn if you are eligible for a Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) housing program. Disaster impact is prioritized, but not required.

More Than an Apartment

Mary Smith and her family had an on-going housing challenge because of a lack of affordable options and her seven years in active addiction. With the help of Garrett County Community Action Committee, she now has an apartment and is turning her life around.

Room for Family

When Brooke Shannon and her husband moved to Gatlinburg to open an artist shop, they first lived in a small attached apartment in the bustling downtown without a full kitchen. Soon after starting their search to buy a house, they had a firm deadline they wanted to meet: Brooke was pregnant and they were determined to welcome their son into a new home.
