Home investment partnerships program

The Kansas Housing Resources Corp (KHRC) received a $6.03 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Community Planning and Development division, under the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME, CFDA 14.239). The award, obligated on September 15, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2034, funds affordable housing activities across Kansas. HOME grant proceeds support a range of housing development and assistance activities, including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance programs, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low-income households.

As the state administering entity, KHRC utilizes HOME funds to create and preserve affordable housing stock while serving extremely low-income populations throughout Kansas. The organization distributes funds directly through sub-awards to local governments, nonprofit organizations, community action agencies, and public housing authorities to implement projects that comply with federal affordability and income-targeting requirements. All HOME-assisted housing must remain affordable for five to twenty years depending on the activity type and level of HUD funding contribution, ensuring sustained benefit to low-income households across the state.
