Jaramillo: There is a continued need for Senior housing in Louisville. There are 13 people on Project HOPE waitlist. Selena has 2-3 seniors per day that needs housing that she cannot help. The rental market in Louisville is very difficult for individuals to find affordable housing within. Walt Oelkers stated that visitability in Louisville is important for seniors. He would like to continue to look for sites for senior housing -both affordable and non-subsidized. Some other complexes have increased the rent $200-300 per month, so they can no longer afford it.
