About Louisville Metro Housing Authority

First and foremost, we are here to assist our residents. We strive to not only provide quality, affordable housing, but perhaps more importantly help our residents achieve financial independence. We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to read about our Special Programs that have been designed to help residents reach their goals.

LMHA also endeavors to take a proactive approach to enhancing and strengthening neighborhoods. In 1996, we began changing the face of public housing when we demolished two of our largest and most troubled housing developments in West Louisville. In its place we created a mixed-income community, The Villages of Park DuValle, comprised of over 1,000 rental units and single family homes. This effort, formerly known as the Park DuValle Revitalization, has been recognized both nationally and internationally as one of the most successful HOPE VI initiatives in the country. In 2003, LMHA successfully applied for and was awarded another HOPE VI grant for the Clarksdale public housing development that lies just east of downtown. We once again established public/private partnerships, and worked with the Clarksdale Neighborhood Advisory Council, Smoketown and Shelby Park Resident Councils, area businesses and civic and community organizations. The Clarksdale HOPE VI is now known as a new mixed-income community entitled Liberty Green.


Mission Statement

The mission of the Louisville Metro Housing Authority is to provide quality, affordable housing for those in need, assist residents in their efforts to achieve financial independence, and work with the community to strengthen neighborhood.
