NorthWest Neighborhood Place temporarily relocates to the Nia Center
All Neighborhood Place sites remain closed to the public; clients being served remotely
Louisville, Ky (May 12, 2020) – Effective Wednesday, May 13, NorthWest Neighborhood Place will temporarily relocate from 4018 W. Market St. to the Nia Center at 2900 W. Broadway, 3rd Floor, Louisville, KY 40211.
The relocation is due to the renovations taking place at the Academy of Shawnee where NorthWest Neighborhood Place is housed. Renovation work ramped up in early April and is anticipated to be completed by August 2021, with Neighborhood Place likely returning before that date once that section of the building is opened.
New address
NorthWest Neighborhood Place
Nia Center
2900 W. Broadway, 3rd Floor
Louisville, KY 40211
The main phone number will change to 502/574-5434.
NorthWest is one of seven Neighborhood Place sites across Jefferson County which offers blended services from multiple agencies including Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services, Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), and Seven Counties.
All Neighborhood Place sites remain closed to walk-in clients in an effort to help stem the spread of COVID-19, but remain open for staff to work. Clients are scheduled by telephone appointment and have access to document drop off locations located primarily in the front of each site. The drop box at the Nia Center will be located on the first level lobby, accessible from the rear parking lot.
