Eastern Kentucky One Year After the Flooding – Part 1 – The Homeowners

The flooding of late July 2022 devastated communities in Eastern Kentucky. In this episode, we look back at the events of those days through the eyes of two flood survivors: Sherry Mullins, whose home was swept off its foundation by a 30-foot wave, and Adam Stacey, whose home suffered substantial water damage but fortunately was repairable. In the year since, both Sherry and Adam have received support from Housing Development Alliance (HDA), one of the few nonprofit affordable housing developers in the region.

Listen to Sherry and Adam share their stories and learn about how the rebuilding efforts in Eastern Kentucky have been life-changing for some lifelong residents.
