Description
This grant funds projects that improve housing conditions for low- to moderate-income (LMI) residents in Kansas, including rehabilitation, reconstruction, new housing development, and, where consistent with program guidelines, demolition of substandard structures. The program is part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) initiative and aims to enhance the quality and availability of housing for those most in need, primarily in non-entitlement cities (those not directly receiving HUD CDBG funds).
Projects must align with federal CDBG rules, meet the national objective of benefiting LMI households, and be consistent with local housing strategies. Demolition activities are eligible only when paired with more rehabilitation than demolition; demolition-only projects are not permitted.
