🏠 Redeeming Hope Survivor Housing in Berea Is “Under Roof” and Debt-Free — Here’s How to Help Get It Across the Finish Line

Posted on by Chad Hembree

BEREA, Ky. — A survivor-support project years in the making is nearing a major milestone. In a recent public update, Redeeming Hope confirmed that its new facility is now “under roof” and debt-free—a key step toward opening a safe, trauma-informed home for girls who have survived trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Plans described in prior updates put the new home at roughly 7,000 square feet and capable of housing up to 12 girls, pending final approvals and inspections (including critical fire safety systems).

Redeeming Hope is a Kentucky-based 501(c)(3) serving girls ages 14–18, with a mission that reaches statewide.

🏗️ Why “Under Roof” Matters

For any nonprofit build, “under roof” is a turning point: the structure is protected from weather, interior work (like the recently started HVAC installation) can accelerate, and the path to inspections becomes clearer.

Redeeming Hope’s founders have emphasized building debt-free so that future operating funds can go directly toward care, staffing, and programming rather than mortgage interest.

🙌 How to Help the Final Stretch

If you want to support the final push toward opening day, Redeeming Hope lists several concrete ways the community can step in:

  1. Donate Funds
    The organization directs supporters to donate through its website, with current fundraising tied to completing the interior and furnishing the home.
  2. Volunteer (Time, Skills, Events)
    Redeeming Hope says volunteers are needed for building support, events, fundraising, and awareness.
  3. Donate Expertise/Labor/Materials
    They have specifically called for skilled trade support and materials. As the project moves to the interior phase, needs often include electricians, plumbers, flooring installers, and HVAC support, as well as general contractors to help manage the finish work.
  4. Share the Mission
    Even a simple step—sharing their information and explaining what the project is—helps expand the donor and volunteer base as they move toward opening day.
