Join Kosta and his guest: Dr. Jeremy Byrd, Executive Director of Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit Christian housing ministry, building affordable homes in partnership with God, families, and individuals in need.

Did you know the median house sold in Putnam County in 2023 is $322,000. The median household income to afford that mortgage is roughly $83,000 (give or take on interest and downpayment for a first time home buyer). The real median household income in Putnam County is far below that at $49,200. That's a huge difference. Programs like Habitat for Humanity help families and individuals in the Upper Cumberland bridge the gap to make homeownership a reality.
