LHOME is committed to supplying underserved communities in Louisville with the capital and assistance to expand small business and housing opportunities.
Ms. Bland, a Noe Middle School math teacher, tutor,&entrepreneur, wanted to help more kids in Louisville’s struggling West End raise their test scores. Her brainstorm? A mobile math academy. If going mobile worked for ice cream trucks, food trucks& bookmobiles – why not math?
That’s how Brain Freeze: Cones for a Cause, an ice cream truck with a purpose, began. With a loan from LHOME, she bought a generator for the truck. Then COVID hit, and Ms. Bland had to pivot. A virtual math lab was born — and LHOME was once again able to help Latonia.

"We were able to partner with LHOME, the 1st people to say, 'Hey, we love what you're doing,'"Ferguson said. "We realized the West End needs successful Black-owned businesses,more than it needs me to do mentorship programs in my restaurant & other things we will eventually do.
So our first goal was to be a success and then the next one is to see how we can use our success to impact the community."

When Elexus Hunter-Percell took on the responsibility for her sister’s 3 children after her sister was murdered just before Christmas 2019, they joined a home which was full of love...and people. Elexus’ mother passed away a few years back and she took custody of her 2 siblings.
Add that to 3 children of her own. If you’re counting, that’s 8 children. While her siblings are 16 & 17 years old and provide help, the other six children are all under age 10. She needed to add a room to her newly purchased home, but didn’t have the equity to make that happen.
