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.
