In June 2024, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce released a report on the state of workforce housing in the Commonwealth. In essence, the report said, as the state continues to attract new businesses, housing the workforce will become a challenge. The housing shortage may, in fact, deter business development. In this episode, we speak with Charles Aull, executive director for the Center for Policy and Research at the Kentucky Chamber, about the report, Kentucky's workforce housing shortage, land-use and zoning reform, the importance of local housing assessments, and revisiting the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, among other discussion topics.
