We are proud to inform you of the Union Member Disaster Relief Fund, established and administered by a coalition of partners including the Kentucky State AFL-CIO, the Greater Louisville Central Labor Council, the National AFL-CIO, Metro United Way, United Way of Kentucky, and several local unions in Western Kentucky and South-Central Kentucky. The fund was established thanks to the generous gifts from local unions and concerned union activists from across Kentucky and the nation, in hopes to support your family’s recovery following your disaster event.
Fund resources are available to assist union households impacted by the December 2021 Tornados and the July 2022 EKY Floods with the payment of recovery related expenses of up to $1,500 to billing entities, such as: contractors, utility bills, insurance company deductibles, mortgage/rent payments, and other requests as approved by the coalition members. Funds must be directed to the billing entity and CANNOT be paid directly to impacted union families.
Any request for Utility/Rent/Mortgage Assistance must be for a union member's primary address (impacted or displaced residence).
Support payments will be sent directly to the billing entity and not individuals.
Combined assistance will not exceed $1500 for each union household. Resubmit this form for each request. Please submit your requests in order of priority.
