2007 State of Metropolitan Housing Report

by MHC

In 2007, the focus topic is transportation in our region – How is it financed? What is the planning process? Who makes the decisions? How can we have our voices heard? When we started, we found this area to be one of seemingly deliberate obfuscation which denied individuals meaningful input into the planning process. What we found is that nominal decision makers are not being held accountable as they defer their responsibility. But we can take back control of the over $1 billion dollars spent on transportation! It starts with each of you requiring your elected officials- state and local- to be accountable. MHC also makes policy recommendations including a process that includes the public before all the decisions are made.

"A teacher assistant with median level earnings in that field can afford to pay $455 a month for housing in Metro Louisville. The current fair market rent for a 1-bedroom apartment is $503."
