2024 Kansas City Metro Supportive Housing Institute Request for Applications

Deadline for applications extended to September 13^th.

CSH is excited to announce its 2024 Kansas City Metro Supportive Housing Institute (“The Institute”). The 2024 Institute will address the lack of deeply affordable housing and services in Kansas City Metro area (Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass and Lafayette Counties in MO, and Wyandotte, Johnson and Allen Counties in KS), experienced by youth, adults and families that are homeless or at risk, or are involved in the child welfare system, aging out of foster care, or exiting other institutions (jails, prisons, group homes). The Institute will help supportive housing partners learn how to navigate the complex process of developing housing with supportive services to prevent and end homelessness. The Institute process is expected to reduce the time it takes to obtain funding for supportive housing by improving the planning and development process. In addition to supportive housing projects, consideration will be given to integrated supportive housing developments that include up to 25% of their units as supportive housing.

The 2024 Institute will provide targeted training and technical assistance for both new and experienced development teams. Teams will receive 10 days of training plus individualized technical assistance and resources to assist in completing their project.

The Institute is for developers, property managers and supportive service providers who want to create supportive housing to end homelessness in the Kansas City Metro area.
