City's Resilience and Community Services Launches New Online Screening Tool

"Am I Eligible" Online Screening Tool

Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) has launched "Am I Eligible", a new

online screening tool for Louisville residents. “Am I Eligible” invites individuals to complete a brief online

survey to determine which RCS programs and services are available to them.

This tool is featured on the RCS homepage at

https://louisvilleky.gov/government/resilience-and-community-services or can be accessed at https://

amieligible.louisvilleky.gov/. Survey participants are asked to answer questions related to household size and

monthly income; whether or not there are children present in the household; is there a disability; as well as what

programs are of interest. Based on the answers to the questions, participants receive a customized list of

programs and services for which they may be eligible including educational scholarships, housing and

financial assistance, help starting a microbusiness, assistance with budgeting or opening a bank

account, and more.

“Am I Eligible” can be completed anonymously or participants have the option of submitting their name, contact

information as well as selecting a Neighborhood Place most convenient for them. An RCS staff member assigned

to the designated Neighborhood Place will then contact the participant by phone or email for further follow-up.
