Bardstown-Nelson Co. Human Rights Commission

Sharing information about the availability of support services and opportunities for everyone with concerns about housing, public accommodations and employment is vital. Thanks for your post!

I attended the monthly HRC meeting this week. Thanks to Mary Spalding for her continued support and advocacy.

During this meeting, the lack of affordable housing seemed to be an on-going theme. I agree that affordable housing is a problem not just in Nelson County but across our country.

However, I also feel that it is also important to break generational dependency on federal housing. In March of 2023, the Bardstown-Nelson County Career Center was founded as a one-stop outreach for employment, housing, education, mental health, counseling, and other wrap-around services.

With the assistance of the Bardstown-Nelson County Career Center and other local institutions like Bethany Haven, United for Recovery, Adult Education, and ECTC resources are being provided in Nelson County to assist with getting citizens back on their feet and off government dependency.

It’s so important to listen to our youth when they show us how they see the world!
