The LMTAC successfully advocated for the hiring of an urban forester, the completion of the city's first tree canopy assessment, and the creation of a tree protection ordinance. In June 2015, the adjournment of the LMTAC prompted the formation of TreesLouisville, a nonprofit dedicated to raising public awareness of Louisville's canopy loss and planting needs. Additionally, the Division of Community Forestry offers a Tree Assistance Fund to assist low-income property owners with the required maintenance, removal, and/or replacement of a public tree for which they are responsible.

Resilience hubs are trusted neighborhood locations or facilities where residents can access resources and support on a regular basis. Resilience hubs provide community-defined support services that increase day-to-day resilience as well as support during extreme events and assistance during the recovery period. They are focused in communities most vulnerable to climate change impacts and stressors due to the legacy of systemic racism. Shifting power and capacity to communities through the development of a network of community-driven resilience hubs can help reduce stress on systems and infrastructure such as public safety, hospitals, and transportation while increasing adaptive community capacity. Developing a resilience hub creates culture and relationships that support all residents and helps dismantle historical inequities and their root causes.
