An anonymous donor offered a $500,000 challenge grant to help raise $1 million for the $58 million Community Care Campus in Louisville.
During a briefing Tuesday, Mayor Craig Greenberg said he plans to introduce legislation in Metro Council next week.
The money will fund 'epic' investments in Louisville, state Rep. Tina Bojanowski said in backing the bill Thursday night.
The Coalition for the Homeless plans to ask Metro Government for millions of dollars from the 2024 budget to go toward affordable housing development.
City leaders said the Community Care Campus is "one resource," but there's still not nearly enough shelters for all the homeless in Louisville.
Natalie Harris, the executive director of the Coalition for the Homeless, said it will offer something homeless people can't get anywhere else.
