Project Description

The project team worked with the City of Lawrence on a comprehensive housing market study to identify housing needs in the city and to inform the allocation of the city’s new Affordable Housing Trust Fund. We examined expected demographic trends and future demands for housing and the obstacles preventing the market from effectively responding to housing demand and compiled an inventory of the assets and programs currently available to help the community address these challenges.

Year: 2018

Fun Fact

The city has a voter-approved housing trust fund to supplement federal housing funds—a very unique resource at the time for a city of Lawrence’s size.
