Booneville directory reconciles Owsley County services, highlights truncated contacts

A compiled Booneville directory brings together phone contacts for courthouse, health, education and social services in Owsley County, but the list contains multiple truncated entries and ambiguous clerk lines that require verification before residents rely on them.

The county clerk function is summarized bluntly as "Owsley County Courthouse / County Clerk: public records, voter information, candidate filing and local election information. (County offices in Boonevi" while the directory supplies three related phone lines for courthouse business. The numbers listed for courthouse and court clerks are 606-593-6226 and 606-593-5735. Reporters and election stakeholders must confirm which number handles voter registration and candidate filing for local contests.

Law enforcement and emergency contacts in the directory include the Owsley County Sheriff Office at 606-593-5161. Health care contacts provided are Owsley County Health Department at 606-593-5028, Owsley County Home Health at 606-593-7082, Mountain Comprehensive Healthcare at 606-593-6395, UK Homeplace Clinic and Little Flower Clinic both listed at 606-436-2068, and UK North Fork Valley Health Center at 606-439-1559. The shared number for UK Homeplace Clinic and Little Flower Clinic merits confirmation to determine whether a single scheduling line serves both sites.

Education, youth and workforce supports are represented by Owsley County Action Team at 606-593-7296, Owsley County Adult Education Program at 606-593-5194, Owsley County Board of Education at 606-593-6363, Owsley County Family Resource Youth Service Center at 606-593-6379, East Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program at 606-436-5751, Christian Appalachian Project at 606-593-7330, Appalachian Fireside Crafts at 606-593-5280, and summer youth and work programs at 606-593-6371 and 606-583-5185.

Humans services contacts include Department of Community Based Services at 606-593-5133 and Department of Protection and Permanency Work Services at 606-593-5191. Child and family support phone lines include Kentucky River Community Care First Steps at 606-464-3212 and the Commission for Children with Special Needs toll free at 800-378-3357. Buckhorn Children & Family Services appears with a missing phone entry and requires follow up.

Food and faith-based resources are listed as Holy Family Catholic Church at 606-593-6948, Food Place at 606-593-5380, and New Hope Church Angel Food Network Hazard at 606-439-5116. Senior services are listed as Owsley County Senior Citizens Center at 606-593-5594. Crisis and safety lines are preserved verbatim including "Toll Free: 800 779-SAFE", "Battered Women Justice Project Toll Free: 800 903-0111", and National Network to End Domestic Violence at 202-543-5566. Recovery support lists Gambler's Anonymous at 1-888-GA-HELPS.

Several entries are explicitly truncated or duplicated. The courthouse line that ends with "Boonevi", a trailing "Mountain" fragment, a partial "Food Place [...]" entry and "Buckhorn Children & Family Services Phone: [...]" are gaps that can create delays or misrouting for residents seeking services. The directory also omits utility company contacts, street addresses, hours and web addresses.

For readers: these phone numbers offer immediate starting points for voter questions, health care and social assistance, but confirm the correct office and hours when you call, especially for voter registration and candidate filing. Local officials should publish a verified directory with addresses and office hours to reduce confusion. This newsroom will seek confirmations of the clerk routing, Buckhorn contact information, and clinic scheduling lines and will update community listings as verified details become available.
