Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg delivered his first State of the City Address, highlighting his first 30 days in office and major initiatives being rolled out in the coming months. Mayor Greenberg’s top priorities include early childhood education, public safety, housing and homelessness, economic development, sustainability, and equity.

The facility will provide medical respite care to those leaving hospitalization with no housing and provide nutritional services, on-site laundry, and wraparound services.
Mayor Greenberg also reaffirmed his commitment to stopping gun violence in the community through a comprehensive approach to supporting the Louisville Metro Police Department and investing in the root causes of crime.
“The truth is I’m excited about where we are and what’s ahead. I’m excited to continue working with people from all over Louisville,” said Mayor Greenberg.
The Mayor also announced the creation of two new offices, the Office of Philanthropy and the Office of Immigrant Affairs.
