Homeless & Housing Coalition of Kentucky

What Homeless & Housing Coalition of Kentucky does

Homeless & Housing Coalition of Kentucky (HHCK) is a 501(c)(3) statewide nonprofit coalition founded in 1987 and headquartered in Frankfort, Kentucky. Its mission is to eliminate the threat of homelessness and fulfill the promise of affordable housing for low-income Kentuckians. HHCK operates as a membership-based advocacy coalition representing more than 50 partner organizations and individual advocates, and it is the designated coordinator of the Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness (KICH). It administers the Continuum of Care program across 118 Kentucky counties (excluding Fayette and Jefferson), delivers a Coordinated Entry intake system under the Any Door Kentucky framework, and operates Homes for All AmeriCorps — the only AmeriCorps program primarily focused on housing and homelessness in the state.

HHCK's business model rests on four revenue streams: tiered membership dues from partner organizations (annual fees of $100 to $500 scaled to organizational budget) and individual advocacy members ($10 to $1,000+), federal program funding (HUD Continuum of Care and Emergency Solutions Grants), state program funding through Kentucky Housing Corporation, and charitable donations. The coalition does not develop proprietary technology; service delivery is grounded in human-mediated case management, housing vouchers for the private rental market, member placement through AmeriCorps, and policy advocacy at state and federal levels. Its go-to-market motion is community-led: HHCK drives engagement through the ThriveKY Roadshow of in-person policy events across Kentucky, monthly NLIHC-affiliated webinars, direct member communications, and federal-level advocacy campaigns via the NLIHC Quorum platform.

The organization's core deliverables are the Homes for All AmeriCorps program, the Continuum of Care Housing Program, Coordinated Entry intake operations, primary housing research and gap analyses (notably the KY Housing Supply Gap Analysis 2024-2029 projecting a nearly 300,000-unit shortfall by 2029), and ongoing federal and state legislative advocacy. Core partners include HUD, Kentucky Housing Corporation, AmeriCorps, the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Kentucky League of Cities, and First Financial Foundation.
