Budget PlanningPublic ServicesDetected Jun 9, 2026

The Social Services and Public Safety Committee received an update on the Housing Stability Services Program, which provides eviction prevention, mediation, legal assistance, and targeted financial support (generally under $2,000 per household) in partnership with Legal Aid of the Bluegrass, the Lexington Housing Authority, Fayette District Court, and mediation partners. The program’s funding is transitioning from federal Emergency Rental Assistance to local general fund sources, with current allocations sustaining operations through August 2026 and additional funding proposed in the FY27 budget. Future priorities include stabilizing long-term funding, improving data collection and outcome tracking, strengthening coordination with homelessness prevention efforts, and integrating with other rental assistance and support services.This positions LFUCG to potentially expand technology tools, evaluation services, and program management support for eviction diversion and right-to-counsel-style services, giving vendors in legal services, case management systems, data analytics, and program evaluation a pre-RFP window to shape how expanded funding is applied.

Discussion only; no action taken at the May 5, 2026 committee meeting, indicating planning and budgeting rather than procurement is underway.

At its August 20, 2026 meeting, the board heard Emily Anderson's special permit request to open and operate a strength training business at 560 Kelley Blvd. The proposal would use an existing retail plaza space for personal services with no change to the building footprint or layout. The filing identifies Sequoia Strength Training LLC and property owner 560 Kelley Boulevard LLC, making this a live private-sector occupancy and tenant-improvement signal.

At its August 20, 2026 meeting, the board considered Elizabeth Harris's special permit request for a charcuterie board business at 50 Pond View Way. The application says the home occupation would use the existing building and run as a residential business. The decision is still open, but the filing shows a new small-business use tied to an owner-occupied property.
