Goodwill Kentucky

Big things are happening at our Morehead Opportunity Center! 🎉
On Friday, we celebrated 12 MSSC Logistics Cohort 4 graduates alongside 7 RISE graduates.

All 12 MSSC participants completed the program, and 9 earned their MSSC Certified Logistics Associate certification. Behind those numbers are people building what comes next: all 12 participants are in recovery, and five women completed the program and earned their credential, making this our largest group of women participants in the MSSC program to date.

We’re grateful to the employer partners who joined us to connect graduates with career opportunities, including Family Dollar Distribution Center, STOBER Drives, Inc., Olympic Steel and Adecco (representing hiring opportunities with Nestlé and Aisan), Winston Industries, Essentra, Grainger, Georgia-Pacific, More Than A Bakery, Hendrickson and Goose Creek.

Congratulations to all of our graduates! We’re proud of your hard work and excited for what’s ahead.

For every 100 low-income renter households, there are only 35 affordable and available rental homes.

That is the reality facing communities across the country, and it is why projects like Opportunity Village matter.

Goodwill Kentucky is proud to celebrate the financial closing of Opportunity Village, a new 76-unit affordable housing development in west Louisville and to serve as a co-developer on a project designed to connect housing with opportunity.

Located near Norton West Louisville Hospital and our West Louisville Opportunity Center, Opportunity Village will help connect future residents to more than housing. It will place them near services, resources and pathways to opportunity right in their neighborhood.

We’re grateful to the many partners helping bring this project to life, including developer Woda Cooper Companies, Inc.; syndicator Marble Cliff Capital; construction lender First Financial Bank; permanent lender Atkins Savings Bank & Trust; state housing agency Kentucky Housing Corporation; and the Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund, funded by the mayor and Louisville Metro Council.

We can’t wait to welcome Opportunity Village home to west Louisville.
