Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would set strict rules on how state and federal affordable housing money is spent in Kentucky, requiring agencies to put at least 90% of those funds 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 if signed into law. The change would significantly reshape how affordable housing dollars are directed across the state. Who it may affect: low-income Kentuckians seeking affordable housing, state and local housing agencies, and organizations that develop or manage multifamily affordable housing such as apartment complexes.
