Highlands Housing began in 2007 as an economic development effort to meet local housing needs and increase employment  to help pay for new housing development. We built 3 homes in the first year.

In the years since, Highlands Housing has assisted 160 families achieve the dream of homeownership, increasing annual housing production over ten-fold while developing the staff expertise and that of area contractors. Historically serving six of Kentucky’s poorest counties with limited affordable housing development activity, Highlands Housing has expanded its geography to nine counties and offers a wide array of services.
