"A resilient Louisville looks like opening doors of opportunity for every resident in the city of Louisville, doors of education, health care, employment, justice, and housing. This is the growth, improvement and the vision I have for the future of the city of Louisville, and let’s remember THERE IS NEVER A WRONG TIME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT!" Savvy Kareem-Abdul Shabazz, Assistant Director of Student Success & Community Engagement, Jefferson Community & Technical College A look back at

A WARM WELCOMELouisville became the second city in the world to receive the honor of “Certified Welcoming City.”"The work here in Louisville is showing us that neighbors can come together to value one another. The city really prospers when we create an environment where everyone feels welcome."Rachel Peric, the Executive Director

TACKLING SUBSTANCE ABUSELouisville Metro Department of Health & Wellness unveiled a two-year plan to fight the city’s drug epidemic.

Our Resilience

Tomorrow

“Putting in the time to get this plan right means that all Louisvillians have a better chance of a healthier tomorrow, but we must take collective action starting right now.

In the face of a dynamically shifting climate, our efforts and outcomes should be geared towards prioritizing who stands to gain the most from resilient efforts.

Bouncing back from shocks and stresses is not enough if one returns to a less equitable situation. I envision our resilience must strive to thrive (S2T) for the whole community.”

Chris Chandler, The Nature Conservancy Our City

Louisville is committed to be a resilient city by creating a culture of

equity, compassion, and trust.

Alignment with overarching goals and targets

Embrace Lifelong Learning

Education is a continuous process that occurs throughout the lifespan allowing persons to reach their full human potential. Through life-long learning every resident is equipped for college, career and a successful, productive life. We focus on the whole child’s development - mental, physical, and social and assurethat children are ready for school andfamilies have their basic needs met andthe resources to prosper.

Adults in a child’s life understand the impact of trauma on children and families and help the child navigate to a level of resilience that supports ongoing personal growth. Together we will open the doors to opportunities that enrich learning and continuously provide children with possibilities leading to a successful life. Louisville is positioned to secure a strong, talented workforce leading to greater opportunities for our city.
