Community Development

The City is working towards developing better support systems for older adults —whether in transportation, housing, health, or safety — and we need your help to do it. Come to our Senior Listening Sessions and share your thoughts.

Help Shape Kansas City’s Housing Future Kansas City is creating its 2027–2031 Consolidated Plan, which guides how federal HUD funding is invested in housing and community development. Resident feedback is critical to setting priorities for affordable housing, neighborhood revitalization, public services, homelessness assistance, and housing support programs. This Consolidated Plan sets the City's housing and community development goals for the next five years. The Annual Action Plan shows how federal funding will be used each year to help achieve those goals. These yearly plans help direct the City on: Applying resources to strategic target areas and to support housing rehabilitation. Funding affordable rental and single-family housing, public services, and community facilities. Supporting emergency housing and services for people experiencing homelessness. Providing housing services for persons with HIV/AIDS. From 2022–2025, the City received more than $67.6 million in federal funding to support these efforts. By completing the Resident Participation Survey, residents can help ensure future investments address the community’s greatest needs. Get involved by taking the 5–10 minute survey, attending public workshops, reviewing the draft plan, and providing feedback before it is finalized. Your voice matters.
