LOUISVILLE, KY (December 14, 2024) – Habitat for Humanity of Metro Louisville received a $55,000 grant to help Repair 7 homes in Louisville and complete a neighborhood revitalization project in Parkland.
With the support of this grant, Habitat for humanity of Metro Louisville was able to repair the homes of 7 Louisville residents and do a neighborhood cleanup in the Parkland neighborhood. The repairs include replacing siding, replacing roof and gutter systems, completing tub-to shower conversions, and repair of the electrical service at one home.
These types of repairs allow our neighbors to remain safe, preserve their homes, and beautify their neighborhoods. Specifically for our older neighborhoods, these repairs will help them age-in-place safely and remain a part of the communities that they have called home their entire lives.
The funding from Lowe’s is part of a two-year, $6 million donation to Habitat for Humanity International to support home repair and preservation efforts in owner-occupied homes. Through this partnership, more than 75 local Habitat affiliates will complete more than 480 projects this year to address critical health and safety issues in homes across the U.S. Since 2003, Lowe’s and Habitat have worked together to help more than 18,000 people build or improve a place to call home.
