TOPIC DETAIL 1

Property Tax Lien Sales 

Their Impacts on Homeowners and Neighborhoods  

Tuesday, April 12

5:30 - 7:30 PM

New Directions Housing Corporation

1000 East Liberty Street

Attend a public forum featuring

Jefferson County Property Valuation Administrator Tony Lindauer

to discuss the impact of Kentucky's statute requiring local governments to
sell outstanding tax liens to private investors.

The Making Connections Network, Legal Aid Society, the Kentucky Equal
Justice Center, the California Collaborative, and Metropolitan Housing
Coalition believe this law causes real harm to families and neighborhoods.
These private investors-many of whom operate from outside Kentucky and have
no interest in the stability of our neighborhoods-file expensive foreclosure
suits and charge exorbitant fees and interest to homeowners in their effort
to collect enforce liens often worth only a few hundred dollars.  This
coalition is also examining taxpayer costs and the expansive social costs of
tax lien foreclosures on our city, including the link between the tax liens
sales and the dramatic rise in vacant and abandoned properties.

TOPIC TITLE 3 Public Forum on MHC's Newest Report

TOPIC DETAIL 3 

Public Forum on MHC's Newest Report  

The State of Fair Housing in Louisville:  

Impediments & Improvements

and Map the Meal Gap Data Presented by  

Dare to Care Food Bank

Tuesday, March 29  

12:00 pm - 1:00 p.m. 

New Directions Housing Corporation

1000 E. Liberty Street

On Tuesday, March 29, MHC will host a public forum to present and discuss
the findings of our newest paper, The State of Fair Housing in Louisville:
Impediments & Improvements.   The State of Fair Housing examines where
people protected by Fair Housing laws live and explores the barriers that
lie at the heart of true fair housing choice, many of which are inherited.
The report offers action steps to remove barriers to fair housing choice so
that it becomes a reality.  If you would like to review the State of Fair
Housing  before the brown bag lunch, you can download the new report at
http://metropolitanhousing.org/pdf/mhcdoc_265.pdf. 

We are excited to announce that Dare to Care Food Bank will also present and
discuss data from Feeding America's new nationwide study  Map the Meal Gap
at the forum.  This study, to be released on Thursday, March 24,  will
provide a comprehensive picture of food insecurity in communities across the
United States to the county level.  The US Dept. of Agriculture defines food
insecurity as "limited or uncertain access to nutritious, safe foods
necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle; households that experience food
insecurity have reduced quality or variety of meals and may have irregular
food intake."  The report will paint a picture of food insecurity in greater
Louisville counties- as defined by the gap in meals people can access and
those that they need- as well as the food budget shortfall for individuals
at risk of hunger.    Our lack of affordable housing greatly contributes to
this meal gap, as households often have to choose between paying for food
and housing costs.  Dare to Care will provide an overview of the local Map
the Gap results and ways our community can meet the challenge posed by our
"meal gap." 

We hope to see you on Tuesday for this important discussion. 

TOPIC TITLE 4 Free Webinar, Health Reform And Medicare

The 22nd MHC Annual meeting features keynote speaker Dan Kildee, a
nationally-recognized expert on vacant property and land banks. Mr. Kildee
