Focused Community Development(FCD) is a real estate development company focusing on housing development in Central Kentucky with an emphasis on rural affordable housing.
We possess a firm belief that affordable housing gives under-resourced areas and families access to a better life. Through affordable housing, it drives economic restoration amongst indigenous neighborhood residents, which is a key factor in community development.
”Data from the Kentucky Housing Corporation indicated that median home values in Kentucky rose 49 percent in the past 11 years while median rents rose 31 percent between 2000-2011. During this same time period, the national housing market as well as Kentucky’s housing market has experienced much turmoil. The economic downturn beginning in late 2008 resulted in high levels of unemployment, which translated into high mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures. Poverty rates also rose during this time period. Beginning in 2013 and 2014, foreclosure rates began to level off. However, many of these homes have not yet returned to the market. Their return may affect overall housing values for some time to come. In addition, there continues to be a shortage of housing affordable to persons at the lowest income levels. As discussed in the Needs Assessment, rents and home values have risen at a much higher rate than incomes, increasing the affordability gap.”
