Goodwill Public Policy
In addition to our community and employer partners, we partner with 42 chambers of commerce throughout the commonwealth to help deliver our services to those who need them most.
Through political partnerships, we’re able to connect with and be a strong presence in Kentucky communities. We use these connections to strengthen our credibility as an organization and launch new, exciting initiatives.
Linked below is Goodwill Industries of Kentucky’s public policy brief for government policymakers and others who are interested in partnering with Goodwill or supporting its initiatives in an effort to influence policy change.

HOUSING
Our community’s homeless population is not a monolithic entity, and the challenges they face are manyfold.
PUBLIC BENEFITS
One of the most pressing concerns amongst policymakers is access to affordable childcare.
