Today Mayor Greg Fischer joined representatives with the Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) to announce a massive donation of more than 500,000 diapers to the Saint Bernadette Diaper Bank. Saint Bernadette’s distributes diapers to a diverse network of more than 13 nonprofit partner agencies that assist low-income and houseless families in the Louisville area.
Exactly one month after opening "The Hope Village", the city's new 'safe outdoor space' is nearly full, but homeless encampments continue to draw complaints.
Homeless individuals were given notice Tuesday that Louisville Metro Government, along with other community partners, plans to clear several blocks of encampments downtown.
