Trump's budget cuts will make housing more expensive in Kentucky | Opinion
US Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed budget cuts will all but eliminate rental assistance and funds for public housing.🗣️ Yesterday, we stood proudly alongside Metro United Way and over 40 partners at the Safe & Stable: Housing for All press conference to thank Louisville Metro Government for prioritizing housing and homelessness in the FY26 budget.
💡 We know what works—Sheehan Landing is proof. Service-rich, permanent supportive housing changes lives. Now, we urge Metro Council to take the next bold step: invest an additional $5M to expand these life-changing opportunities.
🏡 Housing is the solution. Supportive services are the key. Together, we can build a #SafeAndStableLouisville for all.

A huge thank you to Derby City Gaming Hotel for your support of homeless services. This gift means so much as we head into the summer days.
