Out in western Kentucky, the small but resourceful Hopkinsville-Christian and Todd County Association of REALTORS® understands that the American Dream of homeownership may be a win-win for employers and employees, but that sometimes dreams need a helping hand. Last year, the 68-member association drew 30 participants from nearby small boards to an Employer Assisted Housing (EAH) class. This year, they used a $5,000 Housing Opportunity Grant to form a team and act on what they learned. Their program, “Hopkinsville HOPE,” short for “Home Ownership for Performing Employees,” now has a web site and they are conducting workshops for local employers.
