As a transformational employer, the Housing Development Alliance’s Hope Building Program provides paid, on-the-job training in home construction for men and women in substance use recovery. This grant-funded program was created to address two key issues observed in our service area:

The rise in substance use disorders and the inability of those in recovery to find gainful employment, and
The lack of affordable housing in Eastern Kentucky for middle-income individuals and families.

We partner with the residential Hickory Hill Recovery Center, Perry County Drug Court, Knott County Drug Court, and other local recovery providers to identify men and women who are in an advanced stage of their recovery program and would be excellent candidates for our year-long training.

We interview the pool of candidates and select up to six for our crew. Our partners are kept informed about the trainees’ progress and are always welcome to contact us about the program or to schedule a visit.

Local Recovery Providers

We would love to partner with more local agencies that provide recovery programs and services so that we can give more men and women in recovery this amazing opportunity! If your organization is interested in referring clients to Hope Building, please do not hesitate to contact us today.

Local Employers

Recovery providers all over the country have time and again stated their belief that securing and maintaining a job is crucial to sustaining recovery. Perhaps no other region in America has been as hard hit by the opioid & other drugs epidemic as Central Appalachia. This is an issue that touches, in some way, nearly every family in Eastern Kentucky.

If you are a local employer interested in working with HDA to hire Hope Building trainees for positions doing meaningful work at a living wage, please contact us! We’d love to work with you to frame the future of our community.
