Louisville Coordinated Community Investment Project
Jeana Dunlap
"MHC has been a critical component of my 17 year professional journey in housing and community development. Whether it's the State of Metropolitan Housing Report, the policy forums or tangible advocacy for housing professionals MHC delivers the knowledge and perspective we all rely on to improve quality of life and place for Louisvillians across our community."
Metro Louisville Councilman
CM Hollander
"Each year, MHC releases a report that is specifically focused on the vital need for affordable housing in our community. Not only does the report highlight various forms of housing injustices that prevent people from having access to safe and stable housing, but it also offers realistic solutions to move our community forward. This report has been essential in helping residents and policy makers to understand the complex housing needs in our community while also guiding us toward the creation of programs and policies that will improve quality of life for all Louisville residents."
Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Christie McCravey
"The work that MHC does to raise awareness and understanding of the need for safe, fair and affordable housing in our community is invaluable. MHC played an essential role in advocating for the establishment and funding of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund in Louisville, which is a critical component in our work to ensure that every Louisville citizen has access to safe and affordable housing."
