Affordable Housing Trust Fund Advisory Committee to Meet

The Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund Advisory Committee will hold a regularly scheduled meeting at 10:30 a.m., ET, on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, in the Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) old Board room, 1231 Louisville Road, Frankfort.

The Affordable Housing Trust Fund was established by the 1992 Kentucky General Assembly to address the critical housing needs of very low-income Kentuckians, including the mentally and physically disabled and those on the verge of homelessness.  The fund supports projects that assist persons at or below 60 percent of the area median income, with a preference to help persons at or below 30 percent of the area median income.  Kentucky Housing Corporation created an advisory committee for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund in 1992.  Committee members represent diverse housing organizations with varying terms and are appointed by the chairman of the Kentucky Housing Corporation Board of Directors.  The members consult and advise officers and directors of Kentucky Housing Corporation concerning matters relating to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

The press and public are invited to attend the July 11 meeting.  Individuals requiring special accommodations to attend this meeting should contact Karla Hale 24 hours in advance by calling toll-free (800) 633-8896 or (502) 564-7630, extension 341; TTY 711; or e-mail khale@kyhousing.org.
