Governor Beshear was in Letcher and Floyd County today to make the announcements in Letcher County.
The new Grandview neighborhood will be off U.S. 23 near Jenkins.
Roughly 115 homes will be built on the 92 acre lot, which was donated by three brothers Gregory Garnett and George Johnson in Floyd County.
The Wayland Fire Volunteer Fire Department sold four acres of land that will be used to build dozens of homes, a dozen homes.
A federal government set aside $300 million for these projects.
The team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund, which was created after historic flooding last summer, is also helping to pay for the new housing project.
Today's announcement comes days after it was announced that money for housing recovery in eastern and western Kentucky is now in the hands of groups who can help.
Governor Beshear says 13 and a half million dollars was given to these nine nonprofits that are focused on helping Kentuckians recover from the 2021 tornadoes in western Kentucky and the flooding in eastern Kentucky that happened just six months later.
The money is coming from the Rural Housing Trust Fund, which lawmakers created earlier this year.
Governor Beshear says this first round of money will be used to build 115 new homes and repair more than 40 homes.
