Ripley Housing is a small but progressive and proactive agency and the largest provider of affordable housing in Lauderdale County, TN.
In 2019, Ripley Housing embarked on an agency wide strategic planning process with the following objectives: diversify revenue streams, create opportunities of self-sufficiency for low-income families, modernize our existing housing stock, expand the availability of affordable rental housing and homeownership, reduce blight and contribute to the economic stability and growth of the community.
Lack of adequate or available housing is a challenge everywhere for low-income families, workforce families, and for elderly and disabled individuals.
To help address the need for affordable housing, Ripley Housing purchased Center Pointe Apartments in 2022.
The addition of Center Pointe Apartments in Gallaway, TN increased our affordable housing units to 325 - all located in within the city limits of Ripley and Gallaway, TN.
We now proudly serve more than 700 people, most of whom are seniors, disabled individuals, and children.
As we see the demand for affordable housing increase, the limited affordable housing supply we currently have available is not enough to house the hundreds of families in need.
As a primary provider of rental housing, we will expand the footprint of availability of both affordable and market housing options for low- and moderate-income and working families.
