Lawrence leaders discuss statewide housing needs, governor’s budget proposal for $20 million for moderate-income housing

As the City of Lawrence works to address its affordable housing shortage, one question local leaders had was whether $20 million proposed for housing in the governor’s recently released budget proposal could help Lawrence. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission received a presentation from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation on its recently completed Kansas Statewide Housing Assessment Report and discussed housing issues with a KHRC official. The commission, which in recent years has been working to address local affordable housing shortages, requested a presentation on the report after it was released last month.
