Bob Brown House-Lexington, KY

The Bob Brown House accepted its first residents in the summer of 1975 and was formally dedicated a year later. Begun as the Lexington Housing for the Handicapped, it was renamed in honor of Rev. Bob W. Brown after his untimely death in 1980. Rev. Brown was pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky. Brown was a pioneer in leading his church to begin programs for many segments of society neglected by churches in the late 1950’s and 60’s. Trinity ministered to the deaf, the blind, and mentally challenged adults and children. From this ministry to the blind, Brown befriended several seniors that lived in inadequate, unsafe housing.

It was the day that he visited one of his favorite blind women and she told him that her nephew had stolen all of her money again that he knew he had to do something to help. He shared his vision of a safe, affordable home where people with all kinds of challenges could live together as a family. A small group of individuals became the moving force behind a project which was to become the only facility of its kind in the country, fully paid and built solely with private funds.

Today, the Bob Brown House serves 14 residents and just broke ground for 24 additional apartments for a total capacity of 38. All residents have a special need but are independent enough to bathe, dress, and feed themselves and care for their general well being.

The oldest resident is almost 80 and the youngest, less than 25. Each resident has their own apartment, but they come together for all meals and many activities. The family atmosphere is an integral part of who we are at the Bob Brown House. Rent is based on income and includes utilities. Our mission is providing a door to independence for this special group of people.
