Today is House of Ruth red landing Day all across the city of Louisville.
In honor of what you are doing, congratulations.
Mayor Craig Greenberg was on hand for the official opening of Red Key Landing, a newly constructed building with 40 apartments for families and individuals of a vulnerable population.
It is designed to offer supportive housing for men and women aging with HIV, who who just need a safe and affordable place to call home because you have no shot at managing your HIV and taking your medications on time and getting to your many doctor's appointments.
If you don't have housing.
Housing is where it all starts.
US Congressman Morgan McGarvey says supportive housing can have a ripple effect, improving the life of the individual and the community.
When we invest in a 40 unit place like this, a landing spot for people who have HIV, for people have problems in their lives, they are able to get back on their feet to get care, to find work, to go back to school, things they couldn't do unless they had a roof over their head.
While housing is the foundation of Red landing, they offer other wraparound services like onsite food assistance, educational support, and health resources and counseling.
A home is sometimes not enough.
They also need more care, more attention, whether that's to get enrolled in Medicaid, whether that's workforce training, whether that's help with their substance abuse issue or mental health issues, whether it's just getting a driver's license so they can get back in line to find a new job or a new career.
For one of Red key Landing's first residents.
The sense of community and caring staff is the top amenity.
From the moment you see them and you look them in the eye.
It's just the willing to help people and find out what's going on in their life to have somebody that knows what's going on and pays attention to, you know, and so they can help you, not even now, but looking toward the future.
Looking toward the future.
And a look a hundred years into the past as demolition to make way for Red Key landing revealed a relic from 1925.
And we had heard rumors that there was a time capsule in the cornerstone.
There sure was.
When they looked inside this cornerstone, they found that time capsule filled with artifacts from a German evangelical church that once stood here.
And when they built the Red key landing, they replaced the cornerstone and replaced the time capsule with artifacts from the House of Ruth.
So this was what was in it?
And pretty much everything was destroyed.
We've been able to figure out a couple of things.
This was their evangelical book of worship, basically the order of service.
This was most likely the newsletter because there is a picture of the church.
Reflections of a century old community to one that's just beginning.
Red Key Landing hopes to carry on the legacy of building a strong foundation and caring community for Kentucky.
Edition.
I'm Christy Dutton.
Thank you Christy.
Inspiring story indeed.
Much of the funding for Red Key Landing was provided by a $6.5 million federal grant.
