The Affordable Housing Needs Assessment’s mission is to address the pressing need for affordable housing in Lexington. LFUCG has dedicated $38.5 million through the Affordable Housing Fund to create or preserve 3,171 units. Despite these efforts, challenges persist, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the rental market. This project serves as a way to reassess Lexington’s housing needs and explore potential solutions. Together, let’s work towards securing safe, affordable housing for all Lexington residents.
