GLSC March Program - River City Housing with Becky Roehrig

Please join us on Tuesday, March 18, 7:00 p.m. at UCHM, 150 State St., 40206, when we welcome Becky Roehrig from River City Housing. Becky will talk about the work of River CityHousing building energy efficient single-family homes. She’ll focus on their efforts to increase energy efficiency measures, the partners they have in this work, and the funding they have been able to access so far to accomplish those goals.

Becky Roehrig is the President/CEO of River City Housing. River City Housing is a non-profit housing developer. They primarily develop single family homes that are for sale to first-time homebuyers. They achieve long term affordability through a focus on energy efficient design, low- maintenance construction, and affordable pricing through the RCH Shared Equity Program.

In addition to single family housing, at the invitation of the neighborhood, River City Housing developed the former school next door to United Crescent Hill Ministries into 12 apartments for low-income seniors, and in the next month they expect to complete construction on 20 permanent supportive housing units, a childhood education center, and a training center for New Life Directions Ministries, who serve homeless, single parents and their children.

Previously Becky was the Executive Director of the Affordable Energy Corporation which ran a subsidy program for low-income families on their LG&E bill, and prior to that was the Assistant Director of Project Warm, managing operations for weatherization and conservation programs. Becky also enjoys walking and hiking, mostly in her neighborhood and Cherokee Park, and was an outdoor adventure instructor at Otter Creek and JCPS leading caving, rock climbing, and team course events, camping and cooperative games.
