KIM Wilson Housing Inc.

KIM Wilson Housing Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Kansas City, Kansas, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homeless services and housing assistance, with no federal contract footprint. The organization is exclusively funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), delivering tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA), security deposits, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, and housing stabilization services to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the Kansas City and Wyandotte County area.

KIM Wilson Housing Inc. has received twenty prime CoC and YHDP project grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development since 2021, with recent awards including a $516,330 CoC grant awarded November 1, 2025 (completion October 31, 2026), a $485,573 CoC grant awarded October 1, 2024, a $709,018 CoC grant awarded May 1, 2024, and a $410,289 CoC grant awarded November 1, 2023. The organization also holds a $709,018 YHDP project grant awarded October 1, 2024, running through March 31, 2027, that supports coordinated community approaches to preventing and ending youth homelessness. Five sub-awards, all related to TBRA delivery in Wyandotte County, supplement the prime grants, with the most recent sub-award issued October 14, 2025, targeting rental subsidies and security deposits for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness or those reentering from prison at or below 50 percent of area median income.

KIM Wilson Housing Inc.'s customer concentration is singular — the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for all twenty prime awards tracked in the source, representing $10.1 million in combined dollars obligated across twenty-five total awards (prime and sub combined). Activity has grown modestly from two awards in 2021 to a recent run of four to five awards per year in 2023 and 2024, with three awards in 2025. Two awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months face recompete exposure. The organization has leveraged HUD sub-awards from the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas Housing Resources Corp. to expand rental assistance capacity, particularly in response to COVID-19-related homelessness and to serve populations with complex needs including mental illness and justice-system reentry.
