What we aim to solve
Affordable housing is a growing crisis. The Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund estimates that over 31,000 housing units are needed to close the housing affordability gap for low income families. In Metro Louisville, more than 1 in 5 children live in poverty. 62% of these 38,000 children live in families that spend over 50% of their income on housing costs.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Habitat for Humanity of Metro Louisville has recognized and responded to the city’s pressing need for housing since its establishment in 1985. Since then it has built or renovated over 500 homes in our community and been involved with more than 150 repair projects. While the focused outcome has been building houses, Habitat believes its purpose is so much more. Our mission seeks to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, community and hope. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The 2020-2023 Strategic Plan identifies opportunities and tactics for HFHML to grow the volume of housing solutions we can provide to our community. The need for quality affordable housing has never been greater and we must increase the number of families we can serve.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Current land inventory is ample and the interest in partnering from potential home owners is high. Through strategic planning, goals and plans are in place to increase funding and volunteer involvement to grow housing solutions by 25% by 2023.
