About

About Choice Neighborhoods and Vision Russell

The Louisville Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) is a collaborative effort between Russell residents, and numerous community stakeholders and agencies, including the Louisville Housing Authority and Metro Government. Collectively, the group created and is currently implementing a dynamic and transformative plan for the Russell neighborhood, including the Beecher Terrace public housing development. Called Vision Russell, the initiative’s geographic boundaries span from Market Street to Broadway, and from 9th to 32nd Streets.

The initiative has three broad goals:
-To transform Russell into a neighborhood of opportunity and choice with access to high quality amenities, services, schools, early learning programs, employment opportunities, and public transit.
-To redevelop Beecher Terrace into energy efficient, mixed-income housing community as part of an overall plan for improving the Russell neighborhood.
-To attract investment into the Russell neighborhood that improves the quality of life for all residents.

Louisville has received four Choice Neighborhood grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help implement Russell’s transformation plan. Louisville, KY is the only city in the country to receive all four HUD Choice Neighborhoods Grants. (To learn more about HUD’s Choice program, visit https://www.hud.gov/cn.)
