Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Amidst the aftermath of devastating floods in Eastern Kentucky, a religiously oriented group, the Appalachia Service Project (ASP), has been at the forefront of housing recovery efforts. Utilizing volunteers from various states, ASP has been instrumental in constructing new homes and fully repairing existing ones for flood survivors in counties such as Breathitt, Harlan, Knott, Leslie, Magoffin, and Perry.
Significant Progress and Ongoing Projects
Since the flood two years ago, ASP has successfully completed 24 new homes and fully restored 40 more. Currently, they have 12 homes under construction and are in the process of repairing approximately 24 additional homes. With a goal of completing 45 new homes and fully repairing 65 homes by the end of this year, ASP’s dedication to the cause is unwavering.
Collaborative Efforts for Enhanced Impact
Partnering with The Home Depot Foundation and Solid Rock Carpenters, ASP mobilized nearly 400 volunteers to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, to manufacture wall sections for new homes. These sections were then transported to locations in Kentucky and Tennessee for construction. Notably, walls and trusses for eight homes were recently delivered to a property owned by the City of Wayland, strategically located near the ongoing housing recovery efforts.
Community Support and Future Endeavors
Chris Schroeder, ASP’s director of new build and disaster recovery, expressed optimism about the progress, stating that homes can be assembled in a single day with the collective effort of volunteers and local support. With plans to complete the eight new homes by the year’s end and the imminent turnover of 11 homes to families in June, ASP remains committed to serving the community.
Expanding Reach and Impact
Looking ahead, ASP aims to build nine homes in the Chestnut Ridge community in Knott County and additional residences in the Skyview subdivision in Perry County. With a rich history of connecting volunteers with communities in need, ASP is dedicated to eradicating substandard housing in Central Appalachia.
Long-Term Vision and Continued Support
ASP’s strategic goals include constructing 100 new homes and fully repairing 100 more for flood survivors across Eastern Kentucky. By collaborating with government agencies, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank and the departments of Agriculture and Housing and Urban Development, ASP ensures sustainable support for those in need.
Steadfast Commitment to Recovery
Despite challenges, ASP remains resolute in its mission to assist families in regaining stability and security in the aftermath of natural disasters. With a focus on long-term recovery and community empowerment, ASP’s impact in Eastern Kentucky continues to resonate.
