LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A new housing complex in Louisville is helping those who are at-risk or homeless and living with HIV/AIDS.
City officials cut the ribbon on House of Ruth's Red Key Landing, a three-story, 40-unit apartment complex located at 607 East St. Catherine Street in Louisville's Shelby Park neighborhood.
The project cost $10.2 million and much of the money was allocated from the American Rescue Plan following the pandemic.
"It's safe, quality, affordable, frankly beautiful housing that most have never known," said House of Ruth Executive Director Lisa Sutton." Despite this great work, we still have a housing waiting list for our supportive and affordable housing."
The new housing facility, the largest project in the 33-year history of House of Ruth, features an on-site food pantry and will provide supportive services like mental health counseling, client advocacy and a sense of community.
Michael Tress was diagnosed with HIV in 2003 and has been a recipient of House of Ruth resources for 20 years.
"They have taught me that they are there, and you don't have to go through it alone," Michael Tress said. "I take each day as it comes because you just got to."
Each apartment is 610 square feet, and there are several common-areas around the property. Rent is 30 percent of a resident's income.
House of Ruth plans to have all 40 units occupied by mid-April.
