'Home for the Holidays': 2022 Eastern Kentucky Flood Victims Receive New Homes

Samaritan's Purse built 18 new fully furnished homes on higher ground at no cost to families displaced by the 2022 floods, aiding long-term recovery and stability.

  • On Friday, volunteers handed over keys to 13 families in Chestnut Ridge, with five more scheduled to move in next Friday, as Samaritan's Purse dedicated new homes for flood survivors.
  • Three years after the catastrophic flooding, Samaritan's Purse helped more than 600 families mud out homes, while caseworkers prioritized vulnerable residents.
  • Survivors like Johnson described new homes restoring dignity after years in a camper and losing transplant eligibility.
  • Built on higher ground and fully furnished, the new houses were provided at no cost to recipients, lifting a major burden with appliances like washers and dryers.
  • Community funding and volunteer leadership positioned the project for impact as local donors like the Craft family helped, and Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse, said residents long lacked hope.
