Four Hopkinsville residents are living in new homes thanks to a partnership between the Christian County-Hopkinsville Development Corporation and the City of Hopkinsville.
The Hopkinsville Home Improvement Program allows Community and Development Services staff to assist qualified applicants with substantial rehabilitation of their home.
Under the program, the deteriorated houses were demolished and subsequently replaced in the same footprint as the former home utilizing Kentucky Housing Corporation GAP Financing Pool funds and Affordable Housing Trust Fund monies, as well as Community Development Block Grant dollars.
Joseph Hunt, Readae Wilford, Cornelia McReynolds, and Addie Hunt all missed out on the traditional key presentations due to social distancing. The four homes are located at 137 South Clay Street, 918 Younglove Street, 403 Brown Street, and 1405 College Street and they are all located within the Inner City REZ boundaries.
