Bob Brown House HVAC Fund

We opened the doors of Bob W. Brown Housing for the Handicapped, Lexington, Kentucky, in 1975 to provide an independent living experience for low income physically and mentally challenged adults. Because rents are based on income, most of our residents could not afford to live in traditional housing or other homes for the physically or mentally challenged not based on income. We believe we offer a unique opportunity for these individuals to live independently, but safely in a protected environment.
We now have a tremendous need! The HVAC system on the back of the house is now 40 years old and desperately needs replacing! Bob Brown House operates solely on the meager amounts the residents pay and private donations. We have never taken any federal or state monies to operate. We have raised some, but need a total of $53,000 for the new HVAC system that will not only provide immediate comfort for our residents, but also will be more energy efficient, thus saving thousands of dollars in electric bills.

History: We have been in Lexington for more than 30 years and provided independent living for low income adults during this period. Our home was built by community volunteers whose goal was to provide a safe living environment for the physically and mentally challenged. Initially considered for the blind, it was soon expanded for individuals with other disabilities and it has been that way since.
