Y-NOW Children of Prisoners Program Seeks Voluteers

It is estimated that more than 20,000 youth in the Louisville area have a parent incarcerated. The shame and stigma of parental incarceration is significant. And many have a layering of risk factors making them even more vulnerable, including poor academic performance, domestic violence, homelessness, and more. Children of prisoners are 7x more likely to end up incarcerated themselves one day. But that doesn’t have to be the case! For 10 years, the Y-NOW Children of Prisoners program has been helping break that cycle in Louisville, one young person at a time. As we gear up to begin our 11th class this fall, we need your help! If you are ready to step up and help a young person see that more is possible, please call Maddi McCubbins at 855-5143 or email mmccubbins@ymcalouisville.org. No experience is necessary, just heart and commitment. All volunteers are thoroughly screened, and training is provided.

Survivors of April Storms Can Register for Disaster Aid

Residents of Louisville who suffered damage from the severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides of April 2-17, 2015 may be eligible for federal disaster assistance.

Emergency Services Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has been working closely with The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to determine damages throughout the community caused by these storms.

EMA is encouraging all members of the community who registered a preliminary damage assessment as well as all area residents possibly affected to apply for assistance.   Individuals and business owners who sustained losses can begin applying for assistance by calling 1-800-621- 3362 (FEMA) or by web-enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov.  Disaster assistance applicants who have a speech disability or hearing loss and use TTY should call 1-800-462-7585 directly; those who use 711 or Video Relay Service may call 1-800-621-3362. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time seven days a week, until further notice.

Residents who have registered for assistance will be contact by a FEMA representative for individual housing assessment.

There will be three disaster recovery centers in the Metro Louisville area staffed by FEMA representatives.  The first center will be open at Okolona Fire Station #1, 8501 Preston Highway, Louisville, KY  40219 where individuals can go to discuss their case after they’ve registered.  Operating hours for this Friday, May 8th are 12:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. and Saturday hours from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.  The following week they will be open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.  The additional two centers will open soon and the community will be notified of these locations once they are determined by FEMA.

Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

FEMA representatives encourage applicants to collect the following information ahead of time to speed the process:

  • Social Security Number
  • Telephone number
  • Address of the damaged property and current address
  • Brief description of disaster-related damages and losses
  • Insurance and bank account information

The Metro Council, the Mayor and MSD Establish Workgroup to Evaluate Home Buyout Program

Louisville Metro Seal

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced the formation of a Work Group to study and recommend a course of action to address homes subject to repetitive losses caused by recent major rain and flood events. It will identify an immediate course of action to address the most severely flooded homes from the April 3, 2015 rain event. Over the past six years, Louisville has experienced four significant rain events (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015) that impacted 1000's of homes throughout the Metro area. The workgroup will begin immediately to identify short term solutions and deliver recommendations to the Mayor, Metro Council and MSD Board within 30 days. In addition, the workgroup will also evaluate long-term solutions to mitigate damage to the 12,500 homes in Jefferson County located within the flood zone. The workgroup will deliver long-term recommendations within six months.
