Lawrence voters weigh 0.05% housing tax amid study delays
City officials say a housing study may guide targeted spending but won't be ready before November. The measure would repurpose a 0.05 percent sales tax to fund the housing trust fund, potentially tripling annual funding to about 10.5 million through 2029, with AHAB guiding grants for Habitat for Humanity and Tenants to Homeowners while a broader plan awaits study results.
