Turn Someone's Hardship to HOPE
With the newest data available to us, we know that 1 in 4 people – or 331,000 people in our 7-county region – are living in poverty or are facing hardship. They struggle to afford just the basics needed: food, housing, transportation, child care, and education.
Help us lift our neighbors from hardship to hope by raising $75 million by 2030 to ensure all kids and families have what they need!
With funding from Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Metro United Way’s new 211 Home Repair hotline connects Jefferson County residents with partner agencies providing home repairs. The free 211 Home Repair hotline shares details about home repair resources, reviews eligibility to receive services, and matches those in need with those who can help.
If you have home repair needs and meet the criteria listed below, please reach out to our Home Repair Specialist by calling 211. Alternatively, you may complete the Expression of Interest form online at the link below.
You may qualify if: 1. You are a Jefferson County resident; 2. You own and live in your home; and 3. Your total household income is below the qualification limit.
You can call 211 to complete an application, or complete the application form online by clicking the button below.
If you are routed to the Home Repair Specialist’s voicemail, you will receive a call back within two (2) business days. You may direct questions to 211housingneeds@metrounitedway.org.
