Description
The Housing Rehabilitation and Demolition program, part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) suite from the Kansas Department of Commerce, supports non-entitlement Kansas communities in upgrading housing for low- to moderate-income (LMI) residents. Funding is available for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing homes (owner-occupied or rental), as well as limited, targeted demolition of vacant or substandard residential structures when such demolition is part of a larger rehabilitation or development effort. Projects must align with federal CDBG requirements and local community development priorities, with a focus on neighborhood stabilization, housing preservation, and expanding quality housing options for vulnerable Kansans.
