KDVA Homes

KDVA is using tax credits to build permanent housing for domestic violence victims across the state. Construction should begin this fall on 72 units in Eastern Kentucky, Louisville and Western Kentucky. The project is a partnership between KDVA and The Housing Partnership Inc. in Louisville.
