This bill would set rules on how state and federal affordable housing money is spent in Kentucky, requiring that at least 90% of those funds go toward single-family detached homes and no more than 10% toward multifamily housing each fiscal year. It includes an emergency clause, meaning it would take effect immediately upon becoming law. The change would apply to any state agency that distributes affordable housing funds. Who it may affect: Kentuckians seeking affordable housing, housing agencies and nonprofits that administer housing funds, and developers of both single-family and multifamily housing.
