The Big Move
I moved back to Appalachia today (Monday), but this time I'm not here with ASP. My employment situation is a little hard to explain (I don't fully understand it yet), but I'll try. I am being paid by the Kentucky branch of Americorps- called Buildcorps, and interchangeably (?), the Housing and Homeless Coalition of Kentucky- the HHCK. They are placing me in a nonprofit where I will work for the next 12 months. The nonprofit is called the Housing Development Alliance and is based in Hazard, KY. Hazard is a little over an hour south of West Liberty where I spent this past summer. My decision to take the job and move to Kentucky was a little impulsive but I'm still very excited. I am living in the upstairs apartment of a house in downtown Hazard, and am in the process of settling in. My job should be less hectic than my summers at ASP, much more like a real M-F 9-5 kind of deal... so that should leave plenty of time for blogging! I start work on Wednesday and should know more about my position then, and I'll spend tomorrow setting up utilities, unpacking, and exploring Hazard.
