(MSC News)--NEK-CAP has been awarded a $300,000 grant to help local families access quality, affordable housing in its seven county service area.
According to a press release issued Friday by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation, NEK-CAP is among 12 non-profit organizations and public housing authorities across the state that will share $1.8 million in tenant-based rental assistance awards.
Last year, the release says funding through the KHRC’s Tenant-based Rental Assistance Program helped 760 families access safe, stable housing.
Program Director Christine Reimler says program funds help families avoid eviction and homelessness, so they can focus on long-term self-sufficiency goals like education and employment.
The release says the program helps income-eligible households afford rental subsidies, utility deposits, and security deposits.
NEK-CAP serves Atchison, Brown, Doniphan, Jackson, Jefferson, Marshall, and Nemaha Counties
