WHY THIS FUND

A regional answer to a regional housing shortage.

Housing needs don’t stop at city or state lines, and neither does KC-RHF. It blends philanthropic, bank, corporate, and other stakeholder capital to finance apartments and homes across all nine counties, filling the financing gaps that would otherwise keep good projects from moving forward.

​

The Kansas City region faces a growing housing affordability challenge. Across the nine-county region, 32% to 41% of renter households spend 30% or more of their income on rent.¹ Nearly 69,000 more affordable rental homes are needed for low-income households,² and approximately 10,351 affordable homes could lose their affordability restrictions within the next decade without preservation efforts.³ These figures highlight the urgent need to create and preserve housing people can afford throughout the region.
