PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROGRAM TIED TO WESTEND TIF

That rise, well above typical increases in assessed value, is calling attention to the homeowner protections outlined in the West End TIF legislation and fast-tracking the creation of the loan program that, as of April, exists only on paper.

“There is some work to do on our end to put the process together,” said Laura Douglas, interim president and CEO of the West End Opportunity Partnership, which controls the TIF. “But again, we would not have to implement the process until people actually receive their (property tax) bills in November.”

How does the tax credit connected to the West End TIF work?

The tax increment financing (TIF) district is intended to incentivize investment and spur revitalization throughout the nine neighborhoods of Louisville’s West End, with 80% of new tax revenues going to the partnership’s board to determine how to reinvest that money into the area.

To help fight resident displacement, the legislation also created a tax credit for homeowners who might see their property taxes rise because of economic investment.

Essentially, homeowners can apply for a tax credit on their individual income taxes for however much their property taxes rise over 2021 numbers.

So, while the tax credit is based on a rise in property taxes, it is credited through income taxes.

These are the requirements to qualify for the “development area tax credit,” per state law:

• The property needs to be the owner’s principal residence

• Must be located within the TIF district (Parkland, Shawnee, Hallmark, Park Duvalle, Russell, Portland, California, Chickasaw, Park Hill and Algonquin neighborhoods)

• Was owned as of Jan. 1, 2021

• The tax credit ends if the property is sold by the owner or when the TIF expires, whichever comes first

How much is credited is the difference between 2021 property tax levels and the given tax year. For example, if a homeowner owed $1,000 in property taxes on their 2021 tax bill and in 2023 owed $1,500, their credit would be $500.

This income tax credit is refundable, meaning tax filers would receive the credit dollar-for-dollar, regardless of how much they owe in income taxes.

Using the same example, if a taxpayer owes zero income tax, the state would cut them a check for $500. If they owe $3,000 in property taxes, the credit would reduce the tax liability to $2,500.

How many people applied for the West End TIF tax credit?

It’s not clear how many homeowners, if any, sought the tax credit on their 2022 individual income tax return.

Kinsey Morrison, spokesperson for the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet said the state’s Department of Revenue doesn’t yet know how many people applied for the credit on their 2022 return.

The credit was listed on the 2022 Kentucky individual income tax form, as were instructions on how to apply for the credit.

As of mid-April, Douglas said the board had not yet spoken with the Kentucky Department of Revenue about the tax credit.

What is the loan program tied to the West End Opportunity Partnership?

The lending program is a small but mandated part of the 2021 legislation that created the West End Opportunity Partnership, its board, and the associated TIF district.

State law tasks the board overseeing the West End TIF with creating a short-term loan program that fronts homeowners the difference between their 2021 property tax bill and the given tax year (not the full amount of the property tax).

Because the tax credit is through an individual’s income tax and not a credit applied toward their property tax bill, property owners need to pay their property tax bill in full and later would feel the effects of the credit via their income taxes.

Statute also requires the board to “raise awareness” of the tax credit and assist those who qualify in filling out the necessary paperwork for seeking the credit.

“This is a way for them not to fall through the cracks and to somehow be punished as the community is rising up economically,” Douglas said.

How can West End homeowners apply for the loan?

Exactly how West End homeowners can go about seeking this loan is still in development, as are the terms of the loan. The topic was added to the April meetings of the board’s finance committee and the general board.

At the partnership’s board meeting, Douglas said there was “an awful lot to work out and explain to the man on the street.”

“Which is why we do need to kind of widen and bring other people in the circle, other resources that can help us design something that’s credible, where people feel comfortable,” she said.

She floated the possibility of contracting out the lending program and noted the board was in the process of securing a financial advisor, who could assist in the development of the program.

The loan money will come from the assets of the partnership, which currently sit at just more than $30 million.

How many homeowners qualify for the tax credit?

There is no current estimate of how many homeowners would qualify for the tax credit nor how much could potentially be loaned, partnership board members said at the meeting.

About 40% of households throughout the West End (home to some 60,000 residents) are owner-occupied, compared to 62% for Jefferson County overall, according to 2020 U.S. Census Bureau data.

REPORTING LG&E / KYTC STREETLIGHT OUTAGES

Best Way to Report a Street Light Out: The most efficient way to report a streetlight out is to contact LG&E directly via the "Report a Streetlight Outage" on the website: https://lge-ku.com/outages/report/streetlight

Turnaround Time: LG&E states if the outage is reported directly to LG&E the turnaround is roughly 48 hours. If the outage is reported to MetroCall via 311 there is an extended period of time before that report is provided to LG&E and thus delays the process as much as two weeks. 

However, please note if the issue is more complex than a bulb replacement the turnaround time may be delayed because of LG&E resource capacity/supply chain issues. 

KYTC Light Responsibilities:  The KY Transporation Cabinet (KYTC) owns any highway/interstate/on-ramp/off-ramp/under/overpass lighting and they must be contacted regarding outages. You may contact KYTC 5^th District at 502-210-5400. My direct contact is Shelli Venable: shelli.venable@ky.gov / 502-210-5426

JCPS AND WEAPON DETECTORS

As Louisville continues to struggle with the proliferation of guns in the community, Jefferson County Public Schools is moving forward with a plan to spend more than $17 million in an effort to keep those guns out of its schools.

Weapon detectors, which use artificial intelligence to scan large crowds for certain weapons, will be installed at half of the district's high schools this fall, followed by the remaining high schools in spring then all middle schools by the start of the 2024-2025 school year.

JCPS board members approved starting the purchasing process of the equipment during a special called meeting Tuesday night. The vote was 5-2, with District 2's Chris Kolb and District 4's Joe Marshall voting against the measure.

OVERDOSE PROTECTION

Too many people across our city, state and country are dying of overdoses. Why? Fentanyl.

Fentanyl is a fast-acting synthetic opioid that is 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is prescribed legally for severe pain and end-of-life care. But non-pharmaceutical fentanyl is produced illegally and has been found in many drugs including cocaine, ketamine, heroin, methamphetamine and counterfeit prescription drugs.

Important information to know and share:

• Fentanyl has been detected in counterfeit pills that look identical to prescription drugs like Xanax, Klonopin, OxyContin and Vicodin.
• A dose of fentanyl as small as three grains of rice can be lethal.
• You can’t see, smell or taste if a drug contains fentanyl. Fentanyl test strips can show if fentanyl is present, but now how much. Fentanyl test strips can be obtained at any of our Harm Reduction Outreach Services locations.
• People use drugs for a variety of reasons. They may be stressed, impulsive, bored, or curious and seeking to experiment. Perhaps they have a friend who takes drugs and offers them some. Fentanyl is a real risk whatever the reason.
• Signs of an overdose include: unresponsiveness, loss of consciousness; blue, gray or white lips or fingernails; slow or stopped breathing, snoring or gurgling sounds. Watch this video to learn the signs of overdose and how to give someone Narcan.
• Narcan is a safe medication that reverses overdoses and can be lifesaving. Carry it with you. Free Narcan kits are available for pick up at any of our Harm Reduction Outreach Services locations as well as at our headquarters at 400 E. Gray St., Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.  The Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition also provides Narcan and overdose prevention training.   
• Addiction can happen to anyone. Treatment is available and recovery is possible. Findhelpnowky.org is a website to help anyone find an addiction treatment facility that is taking new clients right now. The KY HELP Statewide Call Center is also available at 1-877-318-1871. The Kentucky Opioid Assistance and Resource Hotline is also available by calling 1-800-854-6813.

Through its Pivot to Peace program, The Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods more than doubles local violence “interruption” sites as it intensifies violence reduction strategies in distressed neighborhoods

Louisville government now operates five interruption sites tasked with directly stopping planned violence and to mitigate against retaliatory shootings

(LOUISVILLE, Ky. May 18, 2023) — The Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods (OSHN) has added three more violence interruption sites in three of the city’s most under-resourced neighborhoods where gun violence has adversely impacted community wellbeing.

The sites will employ and manage the efforts of “violence interrupters,” or credible individuals with deep neighborhood connections and whose job will be to canvas neighborhoods stressed by high gun violence and disrupt when possible and engage prevention and intervention.

The expansion adds to OSHN’s hybrid-type ecosystem for violence reduction which fuses direct interruption with case management that offers cognitive-behavior therapy and services that help detach individuals from gangs.

“Interruption is where community members directly engage with those involved in conflicts. It is a perfect example of reimagining public safety because it gives ownership to the community in providing solutions to gun violence,” said OSHN director Paul Callanan.

Previously, OSHN facilitated interruption sites in the Smoketown and Portland neighborhoods. The expansion means the city now operates four sites in the nine neighborhoods that comprise Louisville’s West End and one in East Downtown.

The sites and their operating agencies are:

• Portland Neighborhood: No More Red Dots
• Shawnee Neighborhood: Interfaith Paths to Peace
• California Neighborhood: The Louisville Central Community Center
• Smoketown Neighborhood: YouthBuild Louisville
• Russell Neighborhood: West Chestnut Street Baptist Church

The expansion is being funded until December 2024 and with $6.9 million from The American Rescue Plan ($5 million) and the city’s general fund ($1.9 Million).

Director Callanan says funding could be extended if the sites prove gainful impacts and maintain compliance.

The highlight of the sites are the interrupters, uniquely qualified individuals who work in the netherworld of passing muster with gang leaders. Louisville interrupters will target the streets to identify and intervene in gang-related conflicts before they intensify.

If a shooting occurs, they will connect with the victim's friends and relatives and try to mitigate possible retaliatory shootings.

“The challenge for these organizations will be their ability to integrate within their respective neighborhoods and of how well they can collectively work to reduce gun violence across the city of Louisville,” said Pivot to Peace program manager Quinones Corniel.

Louisville’s model choice for violence reduction has been proven an effective choice for violence reduction in cities around the country.

Using a community-led model developed by the Chicago-based Cure Violence Intervention Global, (CVI) the model was conceived in the 1990s by Dr. Gary Slutkin, a Chicago-based epidemiologist who spent years working to contain diseases in third-world countries.

As he saw it, gun violence is solved using a public-health approach, because, like a disease, violence spreads and impacts mortality. But if treated, can be stopped.

The model has shown impressive successes in other cities that have worked to empower communities with engagement that change norms around violence.

“Community collaboration is essential for successful gun violence reduction,” said Callanan. “Law enforcement alone cannot stop violence.”

Criminologist have attributed the rise in violence to life disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic after 2020. In response, the 2021 Congress, along with the Biden Administration, passed the American Rescue Plan Act which provided $1.9 trillion to facilitate recovery from the devastating economic and health effects of the pandemic.

Many American cities have given a sizable share of their allocation to violence prevention, response, and reduction strategies.

The initiative is funded by $750,000 dollars from the national American Rescue Plan Act.

Qualifying vendors must:

• Operate their programming from at least one of these neighborhood community centers: Beechmont, Berrytown, California, Cyril Allgeier, Douglass, Molly Leonard (Portland), Newburg, Parkhill, Shawnee, Southwick, South Louisville, and Sun Valley.
