Louisville Anti-Displacement Assessment Tool (ADA Tool)
IOC Director Loretta Lees (Boston University), Kenton Card (University of Minnesota), and Andre Comandon (University of Southern California) developed the Anti-Displacement Assessment Tool, which the Louisville Metro Government implemented in July 2025. The ADA Tool was developed in collaboration with government officials, now former Councilmember Jecorey Arthur, and the Louisville Tenants Union. This first-of-its-kind planning tool to protect low-income and marginalized groups from displacement passed unanimously on November 21, 2024, at a full Metro Council meeting.
