Greater Kansas City Housing Information Center

Greater Kansas City Housing Information Center operates as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization and recipient of federal housing counseling grants, competing primarily in the sub-recipient role (83% of recent awards) rather than as a direct prime grantee. The organization holds SBA designations as a minority-owned business and women-owned business, with headquarters in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The vendor's federal footprint centers exclusively on housing counseling services funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Recent sub-recipient awards include housing counseling support under Homefree USA Inc. as prime grantee (award date June 24, 2024), with two additional HUD housing counseling sub-awards dated October 1, 2023 and January 19, 2023. A single direct prime grant award appears in the source data, awarded in 2011. Combined dollars obligated across all six awards total $453 thousand, with activity concentrated in 2023 and 2024 (two awards per year in each period) following a sparse prior history.

Customer concentration is singular: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner accounts for 33% of named awards in the source (2 awards), and HUD is the sole federal agency served across the portfolio. The organization's role is consistently sub-recipient on HUD housing counseling programs, providing direct counseling services to renters and homeowners facing financial hardship or seeking guidance on home purchase pathways. No parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs appear in the source data; the vendor operates exclusively within federal grant sub-recipient relationships rather than through contracting mechanisms.
