As the Lawrence City Commission is set to consider increasing rates that residents pay for stormwater and solid waste, members of the city’s affordable housing board are advocating for utility payment plans.
Affordable Housing Advisory Board members on Monday voted to recommend that the city assist four housing projects and three programs with funding, but not an eastern Lawrence project that aims to house primarily families with children.

The City of Lawrence is now accepting applications for funding from the affordable housing trust fund.
Lawrence’s Affordable Housing Advisory Board on Monday gave an initial approval of the funding level it intends to allocate later this year to applicants focused on housing services — an increase of 175% over the funds that were available last year.
