Metropolitan Housing Coalition

The Metropolitan Housing Coalition educates and advocates for fair, accessible, and affordable housing in the Louisville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).  MHC is a  non-profit organization supported by over 300 individuals and organizations as coalition members who believe safe, decent housing is a basic human right. 

Housing is a fundamental social determinant for health outcomes, education outcomes, safety, and opportunity. The Metropolitan Housing Coalition invites you to support our work in providing brighter futures and better outcomes through advancing housing justice and opportunity for everyone in the Louisville MSA. 

Your donation on Give for Good will support our organization in continuing our critical work. Since the last Give for Good, MHC has:
