PortShaw Place Opens in Louisville’s Shawnee Neighborhood With 38 Affordable Units

Federal ARPA dollars through the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund financed the project with more than $5.4 million.

Overview

  • City leaders cut the ribbon Friday at the new complex near 39th and West Market streets, and Mayor Craig Greenberg proclaimed Feb. 20, 2026 as PortShaw Day.
  • The apartments are income-restricted, with 28 units for households earning up to 50% of area median income and 10 units set at 30% of AMI.
  • Residents will find one- and two-bedroom layouts, on-site parking, and 24/7 security monitoring.
  • The development is a collaboration among REBOUND Inc., Portshaw CDC, the Louisville Urban League, and community partners including Portland Memorial Baptist Church.
  • Organizers say the site is designed to pair housing with wraparound services such as tutoring, GED support, financial literacy education, and help transitioning to homeownership.
