NEWS RELEASE
The new Housing Trust Fund Board has recommended 14 housing proposals, totaling nearly $8 million, to the City Council for approval.
The 14 proposals emphasize affordable rental preservation, affordable rental creation, transitional and supportive housing and homeownership. The Housing Trust Fund Board reviewed a total of 26 proposals.
"These proposals, if approved by council, will create or preserve 500 housing units in underserved areas of Kansas City," said Jane Pansing Brown, director of the Housing and Community Development Department. "More importantly, more than 90 percent of the 500 units built with these funds are restricted as affordable."
"We are excited to see this first round of projects come to the City Council for approval," said Sixth District at-Large Councilmember Andrea Bough. "And we want to make sure we find a way to consistently add money to the Housing Trust Fund so that we can continue to build more affordable housing across all parts of the city."
The next step comes Wednesday, Aug. 3, when individuals representing the 14 projects will present at the City Council's Neighborhood, Planning and Development Committee at 1:30 p.m. (Read the agenda or watch on Channel 2.)

A second round of applications will open early this fall.
