Kansas Housing Resources Corp

Kansas Housing Resources Corp, a state government entity headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, serves as the primary recipient of federal grant awards for affordable housing development, homelessness assistance, and energy efficiency programs across Kansas, operating 95% of its awards as a prime recipient. KHRC has no federal contract prime awards and competes exclusively in the federal grant space, receiving formula and project grants from HUD and the Department of Energy for statewide administration and distribution of housing and community development funds.

KHRC's federal footprint centers on HUD housing and homelessness programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the award portfolio with 56 awards (99% coverage across the top customer agencies), funded through six principal grant vehicles: the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), the Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231), the Housing Trust Fund (CFDA 14.275), the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Program (CFDA 14.326), and the Weatherization Assistance Program (CFDA 81.042 through the Department of Energy). KHRC also receives Community Services Block Grant awards (CFDA 93.569) from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, covering 15 awards. Recent representative awards include a $640,000 cooperative agreement from HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing under Section 811 PRA (awarded December 22, 2025, extending through December 21, 2045) to administer project-based rental assistance for extremely low-income persons with disabilities; a $6.03 million HOME formula grant (awarded September 15, 2025, completing September 30, 2034) supporting affordable housing acquisition, rehabilitation, and rental assistance; and a $6.85 million Community Services Block Grant (awarded October 1, 2025, completing September 30, 2027) supporting anti-poverty and community development initiatives statewide.

As the state housing administrator for Kansas, KHRC distributes federal funds to local governments, nonprofit organizations, community action agencies, and public housing authorities as sub-recipients. The organization serves as administrator or co-administrator of HUD's continuum-of-care efforts in Kansas, coordinating rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, homeless prevention, and street outreach across the state. KHRC's grant sub-recipients include Prairie View Inc., Catholic Charities of Southwest Kansas, Manhattan Housing Authority, Lawrence/Douglas County Housing Authority, and the Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition. KHRC also receives sub-grant awards from the Kansas Department for Children and Families under the Weatherization Assistance Program and Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (most recent sub-award July 1, 2026, for homelessness prevention services statewide).

Activity has remained consistent over the past five years (8 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 7 in 2025), with nine awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all awards reach $588.7 million. KHRC's operational footprint encompasses both rural and urban Kansas communities, with service delivery coordinated through state and local government partnerships alongside community-based organizations.
