Construction has begun on House #3, marking the next step in Housing Hub’s work to expand affordable homeownership on the Plateau. This build continues the momentum created by the first two homes and reflects the strength of the community‑driven model. Professional contractors will lead the core construction while volunteers and partners contribute to finishing work. Housing Hub will share updates as the home progresses and new opportunities for community involvement arise.

Fahe’s Spring Retreat brought network leaders together for honest learning, adaptive leadership development, and shared momentum toward expanding housing opportunity across Appalachia through collaboration, storytelling, and the Housing Can’t Wait movement.

Angels’ House has moved from groundbreaking to the final stages of construction in less than a year, with utilities activated, the foundation and framing completed, the home dried in before Christmas, and steady winter and spring progress on drywall, painting, siding, cabinets, flooring, and interior finishes — all keeping the project on budget, on schedule, and just weeks away from welcoming a local workforce family into an affordable home.

On Tuesday, March 24, Housing Hub will join many local partners at North Elementary School in Altamont to share resources available to families across our community. We’re grateful to Coordinated School Health for inviting us and for creating space where residents can easily connect with the support they need. We will have our housing coach on hand to answer your questions.

In June, we attended a workforce development conference hosted by Fahe. It took place in the historic Bristol Hotel in Bristol, VA, from where the Tennessee state line was just a quick five minute walk. Gathering with 12 other organizations including folks from Mountain T.O.P., we tackled topics ranging from what is workforce development to strategies to how to implement workforce development programs.

We were invited to the Fahe Spring Retreat for executives of nonprofit housing organizations. Fahe is a member organization for such nonprofits, focused on providing resources and connections for the membership that further the mission of attainable housing enterprises in Appalachian communities. In my experiences with Fahe, this is the place where I go to get inspired to continue in the high-risk business of housing development that is attainable for my neighbors.
