Change.org - Group home forced to close

A group home for dozens of adults with mental disabilities could be forced to close. That’s because the town of Russell, Kentucky wants to use eminent domain to shut down the home. Even worse, the people who run the group home found out because of a newspaper article. The town didn’t even contact the home. Now many are fighting to save this group home and support the adults who live there. Sign their petition and help save this lifesaving home for adults with disabilities.  Wrongful Eminent Domain 987 have signed Dreama Hedge’s petition. Let’s get to 1,000!

In May of 2021 the city of Russell Kentucky decided to enact Eminent Domain on a 28 bed personal care home known as Russell Convalescent Home.  The city wants to put in covered pavilion to have a farmers market per the mayor of Russell. This is clearly an act of city gain due to charging for a booth at the farmers market.  The owners,employees  and residents at Russell Convalescent Home found out of the situation due to a newspaper article. The city of Russell didn’t inform everyone in a proper way.  The facility currently serves as a home for mentally disabled adults. Our center serves to some as a permanent home and others as a temporary placement for guidance and life building skills for individuals to transition back into the community.
