The Eastmons


“The word home to me means a safe place for me and my family to enjoy and actually get
to live our lives without being in a constant state of fear.”
– Andrea Eastmon, Flood Survivor & New Homeowner

During the historic 2022 floods, Andrea Eastmon watched the home she shared with her family break apart and wash downstream. She survived by clinging to a tree until daylight, uncertain whether the people she loved had survived. In the months that followed, Andrea, her partner Travis, and their young daughter shared a single room with family while working to rebuild their lives. With determination, financial coaching, and support from the Housing Development Alliance, they paid down debt, built savings, and achieved something that once felt impossible. Today, they’re homeowners.

Chestnut Ridge HOMES 1 Housing Development Alliance

Chestnut Ridge: a new high-ground community for families displaced by
the 2022 & 2025 floods and for those who just want a safer future.
