    Meeting Kentucky's Workforce Housing Needs

    In June 2024, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce released a report on the state of workforce housing in the Commonwealth. In essence, the report said, as the state continues to attract new businesses, housing the workforce will become a challenge. The housing shortage may, in fact, deter business development. In this episode, we speak with Charles Aull, executive director for the Center for Policy and Research at the Kentucky Chamber, about the report, Kentucky's workforce housing shortage, land-use and zoning reform, the importance of local housing assessments, and revisiting the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, among other discussion topics.

    Manufactured Housing in Kentucky and Beyond

    In 1974, Congress passed the National Mobile home Construction and Safety Standards Act, which created the so-called HUD Code regulation. Since then, there have been no more "mobile" homes. There are, however, manufactured homes, or homes built indoors in climate-controlled manufacturing environments in a streamlined process that has been refined for four decades. They are built in single or multiple sections, and, like site-built homes, now come in various configurations with customizable layout, flooring, and finishes. They are subject to the same rigorous quality standards as traditional homes and many are now eligible for conventional mortgages and even down-payment assistance. In this episode, we talk with two long-time industry professionals—Logan Hanes from the Kentucky Manufactured Housing Institute and Ramsey Cohen from Clayton Homes—to find out more about this often-overlooked process and how it may prove to be an important player in the campaign to address the affordable housing supply gap in Kentucky. ...

    Habitat for Humanity of Henderson on Being a CHDO

    Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) awards the special designation of Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) to select nonprofit housing agencies that have an existing partnership with KHC and a proven record of producing HOME-funded affordable housing projects in their service areas. Essentially, a CHDO is a nonprofit, community-based service organization that has significant capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. Among the CHDOs in Kentucky is Habitat for Humanity of Henderson, which is the first and currently the only Habitat in the Commonwealth to receive this special designation. To learn more about CHDOs and the associated benefits, we sat down with two administrators from Habitat for Humanity of Henderson —Executive Director Britney Smith and Chief Operating Officer Matt Reynolds — and two administrators from KHC — Curtis Stauffer, managing director of Housing Contract Administration (HCA), and Keli Reynolds, assistant director of HCA Single-Family Programs. In about a decade, Habitat of Henderson has gone from being an organization with the capacity to build one home per year to an organization with the capacity to build five. With the help of the CHDO designation, Britney and Matt are making a significant contribution to affordable housing opportunities in their community.
