Eligible low-income census tracts are tracts in which:(1) The tract has a poverty rate of at least 20%; or(2)(A) For a census tract in a metropolitan area, the tract’s median family income does not exceed 80% of the greater of (A) the metropolitan area median family income or (B) statewide median family income; or(2)(B) For a census tract in a non-metropolitan area, the tract does not exceed 80% of the statewide median family income. However, in the case of a census tract located within a high migration rural county, low-income is defined by reference to 85% of statewide median family income.A “high migration rural county” is any rural county that, during the 20-year period ending with the year in which the most recent census was conducted, has a net outmigration of inhabitants from the county of at least 10% of the county population at the beginning of such period. Census tracts that are not low-income communities can be designated as Opportunity Zones if the tract is contiguous with a low income community that is designated as an Opportunity Zone and the median family income of the tract does not exceed 125% of the median family income of the low-income community with which the tract is contiguous. However, not more than 5% of the tracts designated as Opportunity Zones in a state may be designated under this provision. A determination that a tract is an Opportunity Zone shall remain in effect for ten calendar years.Download

The Victim Services Initiative is a multidisciplinary partnership to serve individuals and families impacted by shootings and homicides. The Office of Violence Prevention will build on existing victim-centered response strategies by creating a comprehensive delivery system that expands existing partnerships while building new capacities. There are two components:The creation of a Victim Support Peer Navigator project to provide support, resources and guidance to individuals and families directly victimized by gun violence. Peer Navigators, who are individuals with lived experiences related to gun violence, will offer empathetic, culturally sensitive, and practical assistance to help victims and their families navigate the challenges that arise in the aftermath of such traumatic events; andThe creation of a Community Sanctuary Project (CSP) – a faith-led, community partnership that engages community residents within 48 hours of exposure to gun violence, providing emotional and spiritual support, while educating and connecting residents to trauma support services in the community.Gun violence in Louisville tends to concentrate in marginalized communities comprised primarily of African American residents, many of whom live at or below the poverty line. This project will serve those communities disproportionately affected/impacted by gun violence. The project seeks to enhance victim services provided to Louisville residents impacted by shootings and homicides. The ultimate outcome is to develop a comprehensive delivery system that meets the needs of all residents in Louisville.Data DictionaryField NameField typeDescriptionObjectIDIntegerThe unique IDDateDateDate the event took placeLocation Name USERStringLocation of the eventAddress and Neighborhood StringAddress or Neighborhood where the event was hostedType of Activation or EventStringThe type of event hostedNumber of ActivationsIntegerNumber of activations that took place in the locationNumber of Participants IntegerNumber of people that attended the eventZipCodeStringZipcode of the location of the eventCouncil DistrictIntegerCouncil district of the location where the event took place
