Description
In this episode we interview David Michael, Executive Director/CEO at Habitat for Humanity of the Tri-State. Habitat for Humanity of the Tri-State’s mission is to Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity of the Tri-State brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
At Habitat for Humanity of the Tri-State we believe that everyone deserves a decent place to live. We partner with individuals and families who simply need a "hand up, not a hand out". By that we mean the services that we provide are a partnership not a gift or give-away. From submitting an application for housing to the formal loan closing for the purchase of a new homebuyer's house, we work hand in glove with our those we serve. We serve a population whose household income falls between 30% and 60% of the area median household income, has a need for better housing and is willing to put some skin in the game by working on their own house and the houses of others (or what we call "sweat equity". We make sure that no homebuyer pays greater than 30% of their monthly income for housing.
We were founded in 1990 and serve an area that consists of 6 counties in 3 states - Boyd and Greenup counties in Kentucky, Lawrence and Scioto counties in Ohio and Cabell and Wayne counties in West Virginia. To date we have completed 153 new house construction projects, 23 accessible ramp projects and 12 Veteran-owned critical home repair projects. In September 2014, we rolled out a very unique housing solution that completes the housing continuum for Veterans who were homeless in our community, then became renters and finally homebuyers. We call this our Veterans Housing Initiative. The houses constructed as part of this program are 1-bedroom and 640 square feet. Not a tiny home but a cottage.
Most recently we have been working with another affordable housing provider in south eastern Kentucky to provide new homes for people who were displaced and lost their homes due to flooding in July 2022.
