Kansas rental assistance and Tenant Based Rental Assistance

The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) has provided over $1 million in Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to ten charities and agencies across the state in order to help struggling families pay for their rent, prevent evictions, and help them find affordable housing.

The original grant is funded through the federal government HOME Investment Partnerships Program and it is administered in Kansas by KHRC, The TBRA program allows charities, non profits and other organizations the ability to provide rental subsidies, security deposits and utility deposits for income-eligible families and individuals.

How much rent help is provided

The program will provide residents with up to two years of rental subsidy assistance. The funds help low income families, single parents, the elderly, victims of domestic violence, and persons with disabilities obtain affordable rental housing in their community and will also assist them with staying in their housing. Households who qualify for aid will generally pay less than 30 percent of their income for rent. The security and utility deposit assistance provided is one-time-only and it may be offered in the form of a loan or a grant to the applicant.
