by MHC

LOUISVILLE KY, June 30, 2009 - No matter if you call Germantown, Fairdale or Shawnee home, every neighborhood in Louisville has been affected by vacant properties. This issue paper is a tool for learning about and solving this widespread problem. Please allow a few minutes to download; we promise it is worth the small wait!

"There is a 10% vacancy rate in several Louisville neighborhoods for market-rate rental housing. Yet, the Coalition for the Homeless tells us that over 10,000 people are living in shelters or with relatives because they are unable to afford those apartments."
