Homeless and Housing Coalition of Kentucky

The only state‐wide advocacy organization for issues of homelessness and affordable housing, HHCK is a coalition of organizations and individuals working together to eliminate the threat of homelessness and fulfill the promise of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all Kentuckians. Advocacy

As an active lobbying organization, advocacy has been the main priority of HHCK since 1987. We plead

the case for affordable housing initiatives to meet the needs of low‐income Kentuckians, and focus on educating the public and legislature about housing and homeless issues. HHCK’s advocacy victories include the creation of a permanent funding source for the Kentucky Affordable Housing Trust Fund and expansion of the Homelessness Prevention Project. HHCK is also a member of many advocacy coalitions, including the Healthy Homes Coalition, Kentucky Coalition for Responsible Lending, and the Kentucky Sustainable Energy Alliance. Permanent Supportive Housing

HHCK offers five supportive housing programs for homeless individuals and families with disabilities. Referrals for the supportive housing programs are made through the Kentucky Balance of State Coordinated Entry and Referral System. Our programs can serve people across the state and are available in all Kentucky counties with a referring agency, except Fayette and Jefferson Counties, which have their own programs. Participants receive supportive case management along with their housing voucher. HHCK also administers a volunteer service program where members are placed in affordable housing and homeless service agencies throughout the state.
