State & City Resources
Louisville, Kentucky: Disability Resources
On This Page
Louisville residents can contact Metro’s aging and disability office for resource guidance, Neighborhood Place for household assistance, and TARC3 for disability transit. A neighborhood service location and a transit corridor have different boundaries, so confirm the right contact for your address.
Office for Aging and Disabled Citizens
Louisville’s Office for Aging and Disabled Citizens connects adults and caregivers with aging resources and provides a separate contact for disability and access questions. Its resource guide covers community options, and the page links to the disability-accessibility complaint portal. Explain whether you need a service referral or want to raise an access concern; those are different requests.
First Neighborhood Place
First Neighborhood Place lists applications for SNAP, Medicaid, and other household programs, along with rent and utility assistance for people meeting the relevant requirements. Emergency food assistance and assessment or referral are also listed. Contact the site to confirm which program handles your need, whether it serves your address, and what appointment or records are required.
TARC3 Paratransit
TARC3 provides shared rides for eligible people unable to use regular buses because of disability. Coverage follows a three-quarter-mile corridor around regular, non-express routes during comparable operating periods. The current eligibility process directs new applicants and renewals to ADARide; phone assistance is available when internet access is unavailable. A diagnosis alone does not establish eligibility. Confirm both endpoints before reserving a trip.
Before You Contact a Program
- Describe the resource need or accessibility issue clearly.
- Keep household notices and any existing benefit case information available.
- For TARC3, explain functional barriers to regular buses and request application help if needed.
Keep Federal Benefits Separate
Local service applications do not submit federal disability benefit claims. SSA’s Disability page[1] explains SSDI; SSA’s SSI overview[2] explains SSI. Apply for federal benefits through SSA. Starting a local service application does not file an SSDI or SSI claim.
