Temporary Housing

Housing stability amid upheaval is crucial for the rebuilding of both the physical home and the lives of those impacted by sudden displacement. Camp Graves provides temporary housing for survivors of disasters like tornadoes, house fires, floods, or those displaced due to no fault of their own.
Those seeking housing must apply in person and complete an application process which includes a background check and drug screen. If approved, residents will have up to 12 months of rent-free housing while they regroup, recuperate, or rebuild as they recover from the cause of their displacement. Contact us for more information about our housing or to apply.

Supportive Services

Temporary housing is only a part of getting folks back on their feet after experiencing sudden displacement. Camp Graves residents are provided with supportive services throughout their time with us. Residents are connected with educational and employment opportunities, financial and life skills learning, and other services and resources to support their success, even after moving forward from our program.

Returning the favor

Our region of Western Kentucky has experienced first-hand how a disaster can upend lives, businesses, and an entire community. After the December 10th, 2021, tornado, our community witnessed support from all over the world to help us rebuild and recover. Camp Graves returns the generosity, when capable, by providing relief and supplies to other disaster impacted regions.
