Rent assistance in Kansas City Missouri region.

Find a list of the places to contact in the Kansas City Missouri region for rental assistance. The metropolitan area spans several counties, including Platte, Jackson, Clay, and Cass County. Many of the programs that help with rent, security deposits, moving costs or housing are from churches, charities or the government. The goal is to help the less fortunate, including seniors, disabled, or single moms, find and pay for affordable housing.

The variety of rent programs that they administer is extensive. The non-profit organizations in KCMO may also partner with the federal government on some services. Examples of the programs include homeless prevention and rapid rehousing assistance, home repairs, eviction prevention, section 8 vouchers, emergency funds for paying future rent as well as arreage, and more. Many of the charities in Kansas City will also help families pay for the security deposit on a new low income apartment or home as well, if they meet all other conditions.

Funding is oftentimes limited. Typically low income families with children, the elderly, unemployed, and disabled are the first to receive rent assistance from agencies across Kansas City. Then, and only then, if funding is still available will others be able to qualify, including more moderate income families and individuals.
