Our Approach to
Community Improvement
We help rebuild, restore and reignite communities. Whether helping cities and county governments update low-income housing to helping create solutions for emergency fixes to building playgrounds and senior centers, our programs improve quality of life.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program allows the Department of Commerce to distribute federal funds to Kansas cities and counties looking to improve their community. To receive funds, a project must meet at least one of the following federally mandated criteria:
-
The project benefits low- and moderate-income individuals.
-
The project removes or prevents slum or blight condition.
-
The project eliminates an urgent need created by a disaster when local funds are unavailable.
