Some of Louisville's most vulnerable will soon have a place to call home.

State and local officials, along with community leaders, broke ground on a 40 unit apartment out community for families and individuals living with HIV and AIDS who are homeless or at risk of losing their home.

House of Ruth is the organization behind the new facility called Red Key Landing.

The facility was made possible through a six and a half million dollars grant from the American Rescue Plan.

U.S. Representative Morgan McGarvey of Kentucky says the new facility will save taxpayers money.

And both extraordinarily happy and a little bit sad.

It is so wonderful that this new 40 room complex is coming in.

It's going to tackle so many of the challenges we see for people who are still impacted by the HIV AIDS virus.

But it's a little disheartening to see the stigma that is still attached, to see the problems that individuals face this many decades later and then again bounce back to heartwarming.

Why I'm so glad we have places like the House of Ruth, because think about it.

Housing is a solution to so many of our problems and what we're here celebrating today.

We are celebrating transformation in people's lives.

We're celebrating stable housing.

We are celebrating the ability for people to get the care, to get the medical care they need to have a stable roof over their head.

And guess what?

Stable housing here at the house of Ruth will cost the taxpayers less money.

It's going to save taxpayers money to invest in stable housing.

That will increase their ability to get medical care.

That will decrease the amount of incarceration and crime that goes into it.

And so it shows why these programs are so valuable.

The new facility will also have an onsite food pantry.
