LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In-person appointments for some of Louisville's community services will reopen Monday.

The Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services said it will open many of its offices starting June 28.

All seven Neighborhood Place locations throughout Louisville will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by appointment only. You can find your closest Neighborhood Place location by calling 311 or 574-5000 or by going online.
