About the Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund
The Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund (LAHTF) was established by Metro Council in 2008 as an initiative to invest public funds to solve the affordable housing crisis for working families; for people on fixed incomes like seniors and people with serious disabilities; for young families starting out; for veterans; and for working people who spend more than 30% of their income on housing and utility costs. The Louisville Metro Code of Ordinances created the LAHTF as a private nonprofit agency authorized to receive and disburse monies to organizations dedicated to addressing the need for safe affordable homes in Louisville.
