Hometown Build Groundbreaking

We are thrilled to announced the groundbreaking ceremony of the Hometown Build, the final home in phase one of Lincoln Street Renewal! Please come out and celebrate!
The Hometown Build is the future home of the Short family. Miranda Short is a single mom who has risen out of very challenging housing circumstances to find a better life for her and her young son. A couple of years ago, she took a chance and started her own cleaning business to make ends meet. With hard work and determination, her small business is growing, and she is ready for Habitat homeownership.
A special thanks to the following sponsors for uniting to ensure the Short family has a safe,
decent, affordable place to call home!

About Our Homes

Our homes are designed and constructed with long-term affordability for our homeowners in mind. Newly constructed homes have above-code insulation in the exterior walls and attic. Low-flow water fixtures, LED lighting, and Energy Star appliances are standard in new homes. Each home receives a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Rating to quantify the energy savings and assess the home’s estimated utility usage. Based on the last two years, the average HERS Rating is 56 – approximately 8 points better than the average new home in Kentucky! These improvements lower monthly utility bills and help increase the home’s durability by controlling moisture, humidity, pests, and air infiltration. We opt for concrete porches and patios instead of wood decks and solid-surface flooring instead of carpet to decrease future maintenance costs. Covered porches over entryways protect doors from weathering and related deterioration. When the grade of the lot allows, we employ zero-step entry to help the homeowner age in place and enjoy their new home for the decades to come. When needed, design changes are made to accommodate disabled occupants, such as handicap-accessible bathrooms.
