Lawrence Maps 10-Year Housing Plan | Lawrence News

Lawrence city commissioners just approved a bold 10-year housing plan after a year-long study uncovered the city’s biggest challenges—and potential solutions. With a projected need for over 6,000 new units, the plan targets five key goals: jumpstarting the market, boosting affordability, upgrading existing homes, fostering honest conversations, and maximizing city programs. The study blames scattered support systems and out-of-state investors for driving up prices and limiting options for first-time buyers and fixer-uppers. Next up: a work group tackling homelessness will prioritize actions, including modular housing and policies to diversify development. But without immediate funding—this plan’s $100K federal-backed study is just the first step; real projects still need budget approval.
