Louisville Metro Government is now accepting applications for its Landlord-Tenant Rental Assistance Program (LTRAP), allowing landlords to request bulk rental assistance on behalf of tenants who are behind on rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of the program is to streamline the process for rental relief and reduce paperwork barriers, including requiring tenants to sign an income and COVID-19 certification rather than providing a paystub. Tenants can still apply for rental assistance through the state's Healthy at Home Eviction Relief Fund by visiting https://teamkyhherf.ky.gov or calling 833-597-3687.
Eligibility requirements for LTRAP include:
- All multi-family or single-family rental properties in Louisville-Jefferson County can apply except for households located in the following zip codes: 40223, 40023 or 40059.
- Assisted households must be less than 80% of Area Median Income at the time of application.
- Application must be for four or more units under the same legal entity.
- Landlord must waive all late fees, fines due to late rent, and penalties due to late rent for the period of which assistance is being provided.
- Landlord must be willing to forgo evictions for assisted tenants for a total of 45 days after assistance is provided and after that 30 days, must provide a 15-day notice before filing an eviction. The landlord must also agree that any outstanding rent from the period prior to April 1, 2020 will not be the basis for any future forcible detainer action.
- The property must be currently registered on the Jefferson County Rental Registry, and there may be no outstanding code violations for the property for which rental assistance is being requested.
The city allocated $1 million of its remaining rental assistance funds to the program. With limited funding, landlords are encouraged to apply for the funds as soon as possible. Contact the Office of Housing and Community Development at 502-574-1707 or evictiondiversion@louisvilleky.gov with any questions.

Louisville Parks and Recreation’s Natural Areas division invites community members from Southwest Louisville to participate in the creation of a conceptual master plan for the Mill Creek Greenway. This exciting project will transform about eight miles of Mill Creek and adjacent publicly-owned land between Sylvania Park in PRP and the power plant south of Valley Station. Thanks to a grant from The Nature Conservancy, landscape architects/planners will work with residents and other stakeholders on a plan to bring this waterway to life. The result will be a roadmap for a new public greenway for outdoor recreation. Given its scope, the project has the potential to be one of the nation’s largest urban stream mitigation efforts.
If you live in Southwest Louisville and would like to get involved, please click here and fill out the interest form found above the resources section.

The Louisville Free Public Library’s annual 10-week Summer Reading Program encourages children and teens to read for fun over the summer and helps them avoid summer learning loss.
School-aged children simply read ten books, teens read six books, and preschool-aged children and younger need to read, or have read to them, 20 books to complete the program. Studies have shown that children who participate in public library summer reading programs increase their enjoyment of reading, improve their reading skills, and return to school better prepared to learn.

 "The culvert on Blevins Gap Rd has encountered 2 issues which will delay construction. First, I sent over the construction items for Louisville Paving, who hold the Metro Safety improvements contract, to price for me to try and avoid more time going through procurement. Upon reviewing the request. They immediately responded back to let me know that the beams needed to support the bridge deck would not be available until September at the earliest. Upon hearing that news, I asked our consultant if there were any design alternatives and what those increased costs may be which they replied that they anticipated lead time challenges regardless of what changes they could possibly make. This does not surprise me given the current times.
Secondly and in addition to this, we were notified yesterday from the consultant that there are endangered long-eared bats in the area which utilize trees that need to come down in order to complete work. The Corp of Engineers is requiring us to not cut down trees until October 15 or later, otherwise we would be required to make a contribution to assist in relocating the bats. We reached out to the Corps of Engineers to discuss our position and they strongly recommended that we not try to expedite construction.
Given these issues, I still want to complete the project this year if possible. I was informed that we can start construction as long as we did not remove the trees, so I will push to get as much done as we can between now and October. But, we will not be able to complete the project in summer of 2022 as I had originally hoped.
We apologize for any inconvenience to those affected.
Please contact myself or Jeff Brown through email if needed. I will keep you updated of any other news regarding this project as it comes to my attention."
