Louisville Metro Government’s Department of Public Works is recruiting members for the recently established Complete Streets Coalition. The coalition was created through amendments to Louisville Metro’s Complete Streets Ordinance. These amendments require the formation of a committee which will have the defined and unique function of reviewing public projects to ensure Metro roadways are designed with consideration of all users, which will make our district safer, healthier, and more economically vibrant. This coalition plans to meet monthly for 1-2 hours once formed. If you are interested in joining, please send your name, email address, and phone number to Nate Keltch at Nathan.keltch@louisvilleky.gov. Nate will reach out with a link to an application form shortly.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced that starting Monday, May 9, Jefferson County tenants and landlords can apply for rental assistance through Team Kentucky’s Healthy at Home Eviction Relief Fund.
Renters and landlords can view a complete list of requirements and apply for rental assistance through stopmyeviction.org or teamkyhherf.ky.gov for up to 12 months of past-due rent and utility bills and three months of future payments.
The Kentucky Housing Corporation recommends that Jefferson County tenants with a scheduled eviction court case contact the Legal Aid Society at 502-584-1254 and contact their landlord and ask to remain as they apply for rent assistance. Third parties can also help tenants complete the online application, and instructional videos are available to help applicants. Team Kentucky also has a customer service line – 833-597-3687 – to help Spanish-speaking applicants.
Team Kentucky Homeowner Assistance Fund
Earlier this year, Gov. Beshear announced that, thanks to $85.4 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, the commonwealth launched the Team Kentucky Homeowner Assistance Fund. Qualified homeowners can visit teamkyhaf.ky.gov to apply for up to $35,000 in assistance to help with delinquent mortgage payments, property taxes, homeowner’s and/or flood insurance, homeowners’ association fees and utility costs. If approved, the funds will be paid as a grant directly to mortgage servicers, utility companies, county property tax administrators, insurance agencies or homeowners’ associations. Since February 2022, Team Kentucky has distributed more than $3.4 million to more than 300 homeowners. The average payment per household is $14,000.

Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services joins with Community Action Agencies across the state to begin accepting applications for the 2022 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Spring Subsidy Cooling Component. This federally-funded program is designed to help offset the cost of higher electric bills due to rising temperatures. Applications will be accepted now through June 17, 2022 or until funds are depleted.
Applicants for the Spring LIHEAP must be residents of Jefferson County with a household income at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines (e.g. for a household of four, the gross monthly income cannot exceed $3,469.00).
The Spring LIHEAP Subsidy component provides households a one-time benefit ranging from $50 to $200 depending on income levels and housing category. Residents can apply regardless of the status of their utility bills. The benefit amount is paid directly to the electric vendor (i.e. LG&E). Jefferson County residents wishing to apply must schedule an appointment utilizing the automated appointment system. Appointments can be scheduled by phone by calling 502-991-8391 or online at louisvilleky.cascheduler.com. The toll-free service is currently open and is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Copies of LIHEAP documentation, along with the downloadable LIHEAP Application Packet, should be dropped off at the LIHEAP site you select, in a secure drop box on the day of your appointment. Drop boxes are open Monday – Friday (excluding holidays), 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., and 1 - 4 p.m. Please submit copies, if possible. Applicants will then be contacted by phone by a LIHEAP staff member to complete your interview and process your application.
Required documentation to drop off includes:
- Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Residence card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
- Proof of all household’s (all members) income from the preceding month. (Ex. Food Stamp award letter, Social Security Award Letter, pay stubs, etc. or other proof of $0 income). Note: Zero Income forms are available at the LIHEAP “Drop Box” locations or online at www.louisvilleky.gov/LIHEAP
