City of Henderson discusses affordable housing plans
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — The Blight and Affordable Housing Committee of the Inner City Improvement Plan aims to offer courses that could earn homeowners up to $1,000.
The committee is looking to propose a five-step course that teaches potential renters of home buyers the necessary skills to succeed long term, like how to finance their properties.
It's the committee's top option of proposals as the city looks to tackle affordable housing in the city.
'Rent being sky high, finding affordable housing or an affordable place to live is important,' committee chair Dr. Michelle Chappell said. 'Let's get people the resources so they don't feel discouraged. We don't want them to be homeless. We want them to have somewhere that they feel comfortable and they can live day to day.'
Chappell said the committee has a review with the mayor in August to see if the program is worth funding.
