Eastern Standard

Part One of a two-part series devoted to the challenges of keeping roofs over the heads of Kentuckians who, as a direct consequence of the pandemic, have lost jobs or taken pay cuts. Also hit hard are those who make a living owning and managing residential rental properties. Featured in Part One: details of the latest CARES Act, as well as interviews with Adrienne Bush, Executive Director of the Housing and Homeless Coalition of Kentucky; and EKU professor James Pennington, an attorney whose Lexington firm has a tenant-landlord practice. Part Two, airing on January 21, will focus on assistance resources and solutions.
