Louisville organization of religious congregations hosts community problems assembly

Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together presented an area they want Louisville leaders to focus on.

300 CLOUT Justice Network members said they have done 50 listening sessions across Louisville since late August to talk to people about issues they want to see solved.

They are focused on three areas: economic justice, housing and mental health.

We want Louisville to become a city of justice, where everyone is treated fairly, and we see our role in the community as a broad base, faith based organization to make those asks and hold the system accountable,” CLOUT co-president Tom Gardener said.

After a vote on Monday, Oct. 28, CLOUT decided to focus efforts on improving mental health resources in the city.
