Efforts underway to solve Floyd County s housing crisis
FLOYD, Va. – During the pandemic, a nonprofit struggled to fix dozens of homes for families in Floyd County, but a partnership is making a dent in the county’s housing crisis.
Water-damaged roofs along with unsealed doors and windows are common problems that the Floyd Initiative for Safe Housing (FISH) organization tends to fix.
Last spring, the nonprofit had a list of 32 home repair projects, but those efforts were put on hold when the coronavirus pandemic arrived, according to Floyd Initiative for Safe Housing Co-Founder Susan Icove.
