Volunteering is a family affair that has been passed down for generations. Our whole family supports Jacob's Ladder Outreach and the efforts to provide community as well as life saving supplies and a warm meal weekly to our unhoused neighbors. Safe and actually affordable housing is rare in Louisville. That is why we are all in on building Eden Village of Louisville which not only will provide safe and affordable age in place, permanent housing along with supportive services. This supportive community model has proven to be highly successful in keeping neighbors in housing while improving quality of life and health outcomes. Join me in this first step to ensure no one sleeps outside!

#NoOneSleepsOutside

Building Hope One Rung at a Time

The Need

Every night, hundreds of men and women in Louisville have no safe place to sleep. Many live with disabilities, chronic illness, or the lasting effects of trauma that make traditional housing difficult to access. Shelters often cannot meet their unique needs, leaving them vulnerable, isolated, and without a place to call home.

Our Solution

Jacob's Ladder Outreach meets immediate needs by serving weekly hot meals, providing seasonal supplies, and building meaningful relationships with our unhoused neighbors. But we know a meal is only the beginning.

That's why we are building Eden Village of Louisville, a permanent tiny-home community on more than eight acres of land that we have proudly purchased. This community will include 25–40 fully furnished tiny homes, creating a neighborhood where individuals experiencing chronic homelessness can find safety, stability, and belonging.

Each resident will have:

• A permanent, affordable, and dignified home.
• A caring community of neighbors, volunteers, and support staff.
• Access to wraparound services, including healthcare, counseling, workforce development, and other essential resources.

This is more than housing.

It's belonging.

It's healing.

It's hope restored.

Our Progress

We are thrilled to share that Jacob's Ladder Outreach has purchased more than eight acres of land that will become the future home of Eden Village of Louisville.

This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. With the property secured, our focus now turns to site development, infrastructure, and building the homes and community spaces that will transform lives for generations to come.

Your Impact

Your generosity will help us prepare the site, install essential infrastructure, construct the community center, and build the first tiny homes where our neighbors can finally come home.

Every gift is an investment in dignity, belonging, and lasting change.

Together, we are Building Hope One Rung at a Time—creating a future where every person has a place to call home.

Together, we can make Louisville a city where No One Sleeps Outside.
