Windy Hills

P O L I C E A N D G O V E R N M E N T
Graymoor-Devondale police answers calls to Windy Hills, so it
is technically outside the St. Matthew’s Police Department’s
area. A block watch is recommended since the area has seen
an increase in crime in recent years. This crime increase
seems to be connected with drug use.
A transitional housing facility (for people exiting rehab)
recently moved into the neighborhood, which caused some
serious concerns among residents. The mayor expressed that
there is a real need for peace between those groups, and a
real need for AA/NA type groups in the neighborhood itself.
The Saint Matthews Police Department and city council
members asked for our continued prayers that they would be
successful in caring for the city.
Windy Hills itself is financially solvent thanks to the frugal
management of previous generations, and has room to make
more improvements to the running of the neighborhood.

According to the mayor and others, it can be difficult to get people in the neighborhood to
volunteer and reach out in a charitable way. Older people are unable to serve or feel they have
already paid their dues, and younger people are busy with their children and families. There
are many resources within the community that could be leveraged to help others that often go
unused.

There are five churches that fall within or just outside the borders of Windy Hills: Calvin
Presbyterian, Louisville Taiwanese Presbyterian, Christ Church United Methodist, St.
Matthews Episcopal, Westport Road Church of Christ as well as the Drepung Gomang Center
for Tibetan Buddhists.
