Workforce Housing Tax Credits Will Help

Kentucky’s housing crisis has landed thousands of our residents in untenable living situations. Commonwealth Alliance for Housing Solutions is a group of individuals and organizations who are eager to help find a solution. The demand for affordable housing far outweighs the supply, and too many hardworking Kentuckians are left without reasonable housing solutions.

But there is hope. The Kentucky General Assembly can pass HOUSE BILL 86, the Workforce Housing Tax Credits bill, to help solve this problem.

  • Nearly a quarter of Kentuckians spend more than half their income on home rental costs. That means struggling and living paycheck to paycheck for most.

  • Prior to the pandemic, Kentucky was short 75,000 units for working families. With increased labor and supply costs, the crisis has worsened in the Commonwealth.

  • Twenty other states have already proven that state workforce housing tax credit programs increase units available without harming the budget.

  • $790.2 million of combined construction and operating tax revenues resulting from the program would go to state, county, and local governments.

Kentucky’s lack of housing solutions has a direct impact on citizens from ALL walks of life.

Join the Fight!

Like more than 20 other states have already done, Kentucky must establish a workforce housing tax credit to ensure our population has access to housing solutions that are affordable! Kentucky and her people can’t get ahead if they don’t have somewhere to live!

Join Commonwealth Alliance for Housing Solutions today to help solve this growing problem in our state!
