LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Louisville Metro Housing Authority has seen an increase in residents worried the ongoing government shutdown will affect operations here in Louisville.
The agency is largely funded by federal money.
LMHA director Elizabeth Strogan joined WDRB Mornings on Wednesday to reassure residents that the agency is business as usual and will still be able to provide assistance.
“We were able to pay landlords in October and we’ll be able to pay in November,” Strogan said. “There are no disruptions to our programs right now, but we’re watching things very closely.”
LMHA serves roughly 30,000 people across Louisville and Jefferson County, many through Section 8 vouchers and public housing programs. Strojan acknowledged some residents and landlords have expressed concern about the potential effects of a prolonged shutdown.
“We absolutely could be impacted,” Strogan said. “If this goes on much longer, payments could be delayed or we could have an inability to buy supplies for our developments — but we’re a long way from that.”
Strogan encouraged residents to follow LMHA’s official Facebook page for verified updates rather than relying on outside speculation.
