A new Kansas City fund is raising millions to help build more housing across the region
A new Kansas City housing fund hopes to address the region’s housing shortage by providing financial support for developers to build more affordable units. The Kansas City Regional Housing Fund, announced on Tuesday at Union Station, currently has about $25 million available, and civic leaders want to grow that fund to $100 million. The goal with that funding is to support 5,000 affordable housing units across the Kansas City metro.
