Eight affordable housing projects are requesting funding from the City of Lawrence, including a housing repair program, a voucher program for homeless people and a project that would build a complex of townhomes with 50 new affordable units. A special city sales tax has helped generate $1.275 million this year, and the city’s Affordable Housing Advisory Board is preparing to award $450,000 from the fund, which will be its last distribution for 2020, according to Danielle Buschkoetter, budget and strategic initiatives administrator. The eight projects and programs recently submitted their funding applications to the board, which is now in the process of evaluating the applications.
