( MSC News)--The Northeast Kansas Community Action Program is among ten non-profits and public housing authorities that will share nearly $1.5 million in Tenant Based Rental Assistance to help Kansas families obtain safe, affordable housing of their choice.
NEK-CAP, which serves seven area northeast Kansas counties, has been awarded $200,000.
Funded through the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program and administered by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation, TBRA helps income-eligible households afford rental subsidies, utility deposits and security deposits.
Awarded annually, the grants are based on a community's housing needs, the number of households estimated to be served and the organization's experience in administering TBRA funding. Public housing authorities and non-profit organizations may apply for grants of up to $300,000.
