Food Initiatives

Emergency Food Boxes: Persons in need of food can contact our office.  Emergency Food Boxes are "as available".  We may not always have these boxes available. Emergency Food Boxes are available one time to each household.  Ongoing clients will need to be a part of one of our Food Programs.

Food Box Delivery: Clients who receive a Delivered Food Box fall within the range of living at or below the federal poverty level.  Clients may qualify based on other factors.  If children are living in the home and are receiving benefits such as free or reduced lunch at school (personally) and/or the family receives food stamps.  Our staff will determine if you are the best fit for the Food Box Delivery program.

Food Box Pickup: Just like the Food Box Delivery Program, this program requires the same qualifying factors.  Because our delivery capabilities are limited, you may be placed in the Pickup program.  This means you will pickup your monthly food box at our location in Bowling Green.

The Grocery Store: Qualifying is similar to our other food programs.  The Grocery in Richardsville is in it's third year of serving families and individuals in the Richardsville Elementary School District.  This year The Grocery program is expanded into our mobile grocery model on The Grocery Truck.  The goal is to provide a free, client choice shopping experience.  It differs from the food box program because households can select what they receive through The Grocery programs rather than a prescribed food box once a month.  IStaple and Seasonal food items are stocked as well as diary, eggs, bread and other cold items.  As The Grocery program expands, The Richardsville Grocery, North Warren, Warren East, Woodburn in South Warren, Brownsville in Edmonson Co., The Housing Authority of Bowling Green and a growing list of other mobile locations around the region will be serving families and individuals in 2026.

 

Housing Initiatives

Emergency Guesthouse - Temporary Housing: Persons needing immediate housing may contact our office.  Emergency housing is temporary housing for up to two months.  This housing is provided in a remodeled camper trailer located in local campground.  The availability is very limited. The camper has a microwave and refrigerator, beds, sitting area and heat and air-conditioning.  Restrooms, showers and laundry are available to residents of the Emergency Guesthouse program in the campground.  All Guesthouse units are non-smoking.  Smoking is not allowed inside any Guesthouse unit.

Guesthouse - Transitional Housing: Our Guesthouse is a transitional, temporary housing opportunity for those in crisis, when available.  Households may stay in the Guesthouse program for up to two years while stabilizing in work, finances, and life balance.  Guests pay their rent and utilities to House on the Hill without threat of eviction or cutoff.  Clients work on a month to month plan of paying up to the full amount of rent based on their income.  House on the Hill is a Housing First/Fair Housing organization.  In the Guesthouse program, residents work out an exit plan to move to permanent housing with supports at the end of their year-long stay.  The year-long stay can be extended up to about 18 months total.  The expectation is for residents to stabilize within the first year and be able to move to permanent housing after 12 months. All Guesthouse units are non-smoking.  Smoking is not allowed inside any Guesthouse unit.

Impact Housing Community:  We are always open to new things.  The best laid plans can change as needed.  Our Impact Housing program is currently in development.  Our single location design is still our goal.  For the next year, we are working on partnerships with local landowners.  Initially, we'll be focused on building momentum by building a smaller number of rental housing units.  Work has begun on designs and number of units.  These units are being designed with high end finishes in 1, 2 and 3 Bedroom Homes.  Homes are designed to be historic, timeless and well-crafted to stand the test of time.  To be considered for housing within this Community, please watch for our Application link coming in Mid-Late 2026 - early 2027.
