“Housing is a must,” says Cassie Hudson, Executive Director of Partnership Housing, Inc. 

Partnership Housing is a nonprofit housing development organization focused on serving the housing needs of Owsley County in the Eastern Kentucky Coal Fields. It is working to change lives through creating more safe, affordable housing for people across the county earning low to moderate incomes. 

“If you do not have good housing—quality housing—and if it’s not available, then you really can’t succeed to your full potential,” Hudson says. 

Partnership Housing builds single-family homes, provides affordable rental units and helps people obtain the financial support they need to rehabilitate their homes to make them livable for generations to come. 

Without housing, Hudson says, “We cannot prosper in any areas of development (or) communities.”
