LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville's Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services is getting a new name and a new plan of action.
The office will now be known as the Louisville Metro Office of Social Services. Along with the name change, Mayor Craig Greenberg unveiled a three-year action plan for the office.
"I am excited to announce the department's new name, but I'm even more excited about its new Action Plan," Greenberg said in a news release Friday. "With a special emphasis on lifting people out of homelessness and achieving greater housing stability, the Office of Social Services will be positioned to make an even greater positive impact in our city."
The new plan consists of three priorities for the office:
No. 1: Increase the number of people leaving homelessness and achieving greater housing stability.
No. 2: Provide support and connect families in crisis to resources that promote stability.
No. 3: Invest in the team to ensure high-quality service delivery.
According to Greenberg's office, each priority has its own step-by-step framework to ensure the plan's success, with "attainable but ambitious goals, built-in timelines, and metrics to measure progress."
Patricia Williams, director of the Office of Social Services, said the comprehensive plan reflects the shared goals and aspirations of the community, Metro staff, Greenberg's office, Metro Council and the office's partner agencies.
"This plan is a direct result of collaboration and a deep commitment to ensuring a brighter future for all," Williams said in a news release. "As we move forward, we are excited to take these next steps together with purpose and make a lasting impact."
The Office of Social Services has several branches providing resources to the community: Advocacy and outreach, administration, homeless services, neighborhood places, financial empowerment, housing and support, senior nutrition, and planning and compliance. Its goal is to "promote stability and advance equity by leveraging relationships with partners and connecting residents with essential resources."
