Kentucky among states to receive federal funding for HUD housing

Governor Andy Beshear announced Tuesday Kentucky is among 20 states that will receive restored federal funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to restore the funds.  More than $21 million in funding will be released for housing programs across the Commonwealth that will support seniors, veterans families with children and those with disabiities.

The funding will protect housing for 700 households and more than 1,200 Kentuckians.  

Beshear, who joined the lawsuit filed in November, said the ruling ensures the state can continue efforts to prevent homelessness, emphasizing that blocking approved housing funds would have put thousands of Kentuckians at risk of losing their homes.

Kentucky had faced potential losses of up to 70% of more than $15 million for permanent supportive housing across 118 of the state’s 120 counties, along with the risk of losing more than $20 million in additional rental and supportive assistance funding.
