Kentucky's Waste Tire Collection Program was established in 1998 as part of the Energy & Environment Cabinet’s (EEC) ongoing efforts to rid Kentucky’s landscape of waste tires. The EEC contracts for the removal and delivery of the recovered tires to "beneficial end use" markets where they are recycled to become products such as tire-derived fuel or crumb rubber.
The program is supported by the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is funded when tire retailers collect a $2 fee on all new replacement motor vehicle tires sold. Retailers may retain five cents to offset administrative costs, but the balance is required to go in the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is dedicated to managing scrap tires and developing sustainable markets for recycled tire products. To date, the Waste Tire Collection Program is responsible for the proper disposal of more than 19 million waste tires!

My Louisville Home will achieve its ambitious target by implementing a series of strategies and initiatives, key components of which are as follows:
-
Revision of the Land Development Code: My Louisville Home will focus on revising the Land Development Code to allow more density and remove regulatory barriers and other hurdles that hinder housing development. By streamlining the approval process, this initiative aims to expedite the construction of new housing units.
-
Increased Funding and Expansion of the Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund (LAHTF): To maximize existing resources available for affordable housing initiatives, My Louisville Home proposes funding and expansion of LAHTF through the establishment of a permanent dedicated funding source and commitment to $20 million in annual funding. This fund provides financial support for affordable housing projects across the city.
-
Implement Innovative Financing and Construction Methods: My Louisville Home will generate new capital sources for affordable housing development by utilizing Faircloth-to-RAD and Essential Services Bonds and leveraging innovative funding tools such as the Energy Project Assessment District (EPAD) and Solar Over Louisville to achieve environmentally sustainable building technologies in housing projects.
-
Create Long-Term Affordable Housing Homeownership Opportunities: My Louisville Home will provide new opportunities for residents to access homeownership through continued support for the creation of Community Land Trusts, the Section 8 to Homeownership program, Louisville Metro’s Down Payment Assistance Program, and LAHTF’s REVERT program. Additionally, the plan calls for support for a Shared Equity Model to create permanently affordable housing in areas with higher-valued homes.
-
Incentivize the renovation of vacant and abandoned properties for affordable housing: My Louisville Home promotes the creation of a Lien Forgiveness in Exchange for Affordability Program, which will waive code liens on properties that are redeveloped and sold to an income-eligible household. When paired with existing efforts to revitalize Metro-controlled vacant properties by selling them at below-market rate, the city can incentivize developers to construct new affordable housing on vacant and abandoned properties.
