Housing Fund Fails to Deliver Affordable Homes in Lawrence
Lawrence faces a stubborn affordable housing gap amid rising prices. The City Hall housing trust fund, created in 2001 with 500000, has spent only small amounts and struggles for a steady funding source. Board members threaten disbanding if no stable funds emerge while residents like Patricia Jones describe the market as unaffordable. The City Commission will hear the board’s fate at the August 24 meeting.
