Creating sustainable housing.
Opening doors, opening opportunities.
Since 1971, New Directions has been helping families overcome obstacles to affordable, safe, sustainable housing in Louisville and Southern Indiana. Through our housing, home-repair, and real estate development programs, we help build and strengthen communities, improve lives, and ensure a bright future for those in need.
Property Management & Resident Services
New Directions’ flagship service is the management of affordable rental properties available to individuals, families, seniors, and those with disabilities.
Real-Estate Development
Our Real Estate Development program’s goal is to increase and preserve affordable housing, primarily in Louisville’s West End neighborhoods.
Home Repair
Our home repair programs make life-changing home improvements for the elderly and disabled.
Community Building & Engagement
Building community requires the engagement of people. At New Directions, we know that our role in successful neighborhood revitalization is that of a friend and facilitator.

Thanks to our partners in caring.
New Directions is indebted to our generous supporters for nearly 50 years of helping us achieve our mission. Without them, we couldn’t have placed over 900 families in affordable housing, repaired countless homes for the elderly and disabled, or provided other resources to families in need across Louisville and Southern Indiana. With them at our side, we look forward to continuing to fulfill our promise of stability and security for our neighbors and community.
