Did You Know?
Within 1.5 miles of the Rutherford County Courthouse is a
house with no indoor bathroom. The land is valued at $5,600 and
the house $1,500. Heated with a wood stove, the front room also
serves as a bedroom. A kerosene heater also helps. The entire
house leans so badly, window panes break from the stress. The
back of the house is up on a few block pillars and rises four
feet off the ground.
165 Rutherford County homes lack plumbing.
Rutherford Housing Partnership, Inc. is a local non-profit
organization founded in 1995 by a group of concerned citizens
who believed strongly that everyone had a right to safe and
livable housing. Therefore, our purpose is to assist low-income
homeowners with urgent repairs imminent to life or safety. RHP
provides repairs using volunteer labor with materials purchased
through donated funds.
RHP works in cooperation with other agencies and non-profit
groups in Rutherford County seeking to address the housing needs
of local residents.
