Bring Simply Home to Your Town

Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) curated this exhibit for our town and yours. Organizations serving partner and public audiences may request this exhibit for showings in an accessible place by the public. Civic organizations, libraries, museums, and other places that can accommodate the floor space for the 24-foot by 34-foot exhibit and consider the 4-foot accessibility for compliance with American Disabilities Act are great showcases for the exhibit.

KHC staff will deliver and set up the exhibit onsite, free of charge, as a service to the Commonwealth.

	The American Dream – Homes and Communities of Choice
	The Early 20^th Century American Dream "I dreamed of breaking barriers for women. I held the key to my own strength. I was one of the first to ride horses with split skirts rather than side-saddle, I was a postmaster in Appalachia. I was a co-owner of a store that provided fuel, food, and supplies for the community during the Great Depression. I was a strong mother. I was a trend-setter—I took this self-portrait in the 1920s. I lived in an affordable home. I was a great neighbor. I was a face for affordable housing. ~Druscilla Chappell Jackson

	Bill is the Face of Affordable Housing. Paducah, Kentucky Bill faced extreme utility fee increases, putting additional stress on his finances. He learned from neighbors about KY Home Performance (KHP). In partnership with Warren Heating and Air, Bill made energy improvements to his home in McCracken County. Bill had always participated in the budget payment plan for his electricity bill. After implementing the recommended changes, he received a $1,500 rebate check from the local utility company, due to overpayment, just months after upgrades were complete. Bill’s energy usage had decreased by more than half! Contributor: Kentucky Housing Corporation Photographer: Sara Nesselrode
