Louisville’s community need

Instability rarely has a single cause.

36,160affordable housing units of unmet need
12,385people served by Louisville’s homeless system in 2024
1,554children among those served in 2024
$36.16/hrmodeled living wage for one adult with one child

These are community-level figures from the Louisville Community Needs Assessment (October 2026), which draws on Louisville Metro and local homeless-system data. They describe the need—not Her Passage’s results. Her Passage does not claim it can solve Louisville’s structural housing shortage; it aims to help individual families through crises and toward stability.
