Louisville Eviction Data:
Over 16,000 filed in 2019
Eviction rate in Louisville is 2X national average.
Black families in KY are 2.5 time more likely to be in eviction compared to white families.
There are about 60 eviction cases called per day which equals to about 240-250 eviction cases per week:
-Despite the pandemic
-Despite the CDC declaration
-Despite the fact that children literally cannot go to school if they are evicted due to NTI.
Our Goal:
Prevent/reduce the number of evictions for non-payment of rent and “self-evictions”.
Share information about rent assistance resources and tools home renters can use in their defense.
Identify home renters who are in need of additional support.
Document barriers that home renters may have.
