Affordable housing is in short supply all over the country, and the Kansas City area is no exception. As stakeholders work to find remedies, Regional Housing Partnership (RHP), convened and coordinated by the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) and LISC Greater Kansas City is equipping them with information to help with the task. 

A Public Housing Authority is a governmental entity that is authorized by the State to engage in or assist in the development or operation of housing for low-income and very low-income families. The Housing Authority operates two basic programs, Public Housing, and the Housing Choice Voucher program. In the Public Housing program, the Housing Authority acts as the landlord. In the Housing Choice Voucher program, the Housing Authority administers the federal program by providing rental assistance on behalf of low and very low-income families to private landlords. 

 Plentiful and affordable housing is critical to the Kansas City region because it impacts access to jobs and education, economic development, and our quality of life. While housing has long been seen as an asset in the metro, many communities are raising concerns about housing challenges.

Together with local leaders and stakeholders, MARC is working to identify a collaborative path forward that addresses regional housing challenges and possible solutions.
