About Good News Homes
Vision Statement |
Mission Statement |
Good News Homes' vision is of that day when the Oldham-Trimble area provides safe and decent housing for all persons residing there. |
Good News Homes is a faith-based organization that exists to help displaced or at-risk families, especially those who are underserved, find housing and/or related resources that can help them become or stay self-sufficient. |
Providing housing for families in LaGrange, Bedford, at RoseHaven I & II
and in a single family home sponsored by Southeast Christian Church.
| Good News Homes was established in 2001 by Good News Shelter Corporation, a not-for-profit charitable organization created in 1998 by the local Southern Baptist District Organization (now known as the Oldham-Trimble Baptist Association). Both apartment buildings were constructed with the help of approximately 80 members of the Baptist Builders, a group of volunteers from Oldham, Trimble, and surrounding counties. Funding for construction and administration of the program has come from Kentucky Housing Corporation grants, HUD funding, and contributions from the Mahan Foundation, the Peyton Samuel Head Family Trust, the Metro United Way, the Wilborn Foundation, and many local churches, businesses, and individuals. |  |
 |
Purpose Good News Homes provides transitional housing for families who cannot make ends meet. Medical expenses, car accidents, job loss, divorce, domestic violence, illness and other catastrophic events have caused many families to lose their home or apartment when there was not enough money to pay the bills. |
Need Each year more than 70 families who need housing contact Good News Homes. In the past nine years, we have helped 44 families successfully transition back into permanent homes and we are currently housing 13 additional families. During that same time, however, we have had to turn away over 450 families due to lack of space. |
