While providing safe, decent, affordable housing is the mission and top priority for KHC, we have also assumed the role of educating the public about affordable housing issues, including the plight of poverty housing. We hope the information provided will be useful to you in your research and will aid you in gaining more knowledge about affordable housing.
The State of Housing in Kentucky 
(11" x 17")
This 2006 report collected a variety of housing statistics for the state of Kentucky. This project was developed to give Kentucky Housing Corporation, housing organizations, and service organizations the tools needed to design effective projects and programs to assist families and persons in need in Kentucky. The data is pulled from census data for the state, and updates to this report would not be available until the completion of the 2010 census.
Kentucky's Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness
This plan was developed by the Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness and Kentucky Housing Corporation with public input from 12 community forums held across the state. Governor Fletcher requested the plan be developed in response to President George W. Bush’s charge to cities and states across the country to end chronic homelessness in their specific areas.
Kentucky Housing Needs Assessment: Phase I (2001) 
This report describes Phase I of a two-part study intended to include roughly the period from 1980 until the present. In Phase I we review population and housing trends, using census and other data. Because the 2000 census data will not all be available until 2003, a thorough analysis of trends in the 1990s and circumstances in 2000 cannot be completed until Phase II; however, we have incorporated some 2000 census data that have already been released.
Kentucky Housing Needs Assessment: Phase II (2004)
This Phase II report updates our earlier report, Kentucky Housing Needs Assessment: Phase I (KHNA:I). The main focus of Phase II is on data from the 2000 Census that were not available when Phase I was completed. In particular, long form data on individual and household characteristics and housing conditions and costs had not yet been released when the Phase I report was completed. We also update other data series if relevant new information is available.

Commonwealth of Kentucky Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
The Department for Local Government (DLG) and the Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) have two functions within the housing arena. The agencies provide the financial resources for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing and are tasked with the responsibility of enforcing the fair housing laws of HUD programs and the state law. The agencies provide considerable financial resources for the construction of affordable housing which substantially increases the opportunity for residents of the Commonwealth to exercise their right to fair housing choice. In support of the second responsibility, the agencies have identified some impediments to the exercise of fair housing choice to be addressed in the next five years.
Kentucky Council on Homeless Policy
The Kentucky Council on Homeless Policy, focusing on collaborative prevention efforts to reduce the number of people who experience homelessness, drafted a statewide prevention plan that identifies existing institutional barriers that can contribute to or exacerbate homelessness and makes recommendations on specific problems or barriers identified within existing programs. These recommendations are rooted in the vision of the council to develop statewide systems and policies that forge partnerships among state agencies that allow communities to achieve local solutions to homelessness.
2001 Homeless Survey Report
The Institute for Regional Analysis and Public Policy at Morehead State University was commissioned by Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) in the Fall of 2000 to conduct a statewide survey of homeless persons. This study was designed to provide comparable data to the original 1993 Statewide Homeless Survey conducted by the Association of Area Development Districts and Kentucky Housing Corporation.
