肯塔基州增拨2021年龙卷风出租房修复资金 11处开发项目在建 Mayfield等地预计明年春季起出租
肯塔基州州长Andy Beshear宣布增加用于修复2021年西部龙卷风中受损出租房的资金。距离那场重创肯塔基州西部的龙卷风已近五年，五周年将在12月到来。
Beshear表示，那场灾害摧毁了许多住宅与社区，也摧毁了出租单元。他说，联邦紧急事务管理署的资金通常不帮助修复出租房，其政府调配了部分联邦资金，启动了修复工作。目前共有11处开发项目在建，他预计这些项目明年春季开始出租。
Beshear说，州政府把联邦住房与城市发展部的资金经州可负担住房信托基金运作，据其所知这是全美首次这样做，并显著增加了可用于在这些地区重建出租单元的资金额。他表示，这一首创做法将为Mayfield的家庭带来纾解。
Kentucky Increases Repair Funding for Rental Homes Hit by 2021 Tornadoes; 11 Developments Under Construction, Leasing Expected Next Spring in Mayfield and Elsewhere
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has announced an increase in repair money for rental properties hit by the 2021 tornadoes in western Kentucky. Nearly five years have passed since the devastating tornadoes swept across the western part of the state, and the five-year anniversary of the disaster arrives in December.
Beshear said the 2021 disaster destroyed many homes and neighborhoods, and also rental units. He said Federal Emergency Management Agency dollars do not usually help fix rental homes, and that his administration moved around some federal dollars, which jump-started repairs. In total, 11 developments are under construction, and he expects them to start leasing by next spring.
Beshear said the state took federal U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funds and ran them through its affordable housing trust fund, which he said the state believes is the first time this has been done in the United States, significantly increasing the amount of money available to rebuild rental units in these areas. He said the effort will provide relief for families in Mayfield.
