Housing continues to be a critical concern for the people of Northwest Kansas. Without the injection of new properties, we stifle our community’s ability to attract new families, grow our tax base, and build a desirable place for residents to call home.
That’s why the Northwest Kansas Economic Innovation Center, Inc. (Innovation Center) created the Kansas Housing Cooperative Program – to encourage new home construction in Northwest Kansas.
Through this program, we’re offering forgivable loans to homeowners who choose to build a new house in a community of 10,000 or fewer.
Together with our partners, developers, and our citizens – we’re working to fuel our region’s dreams and build a booming Northwest Kansas.
This program covers the Innovation Center’s 26-county area in Northwest Kansas. The loan funds can be used for developing new single-family, owner-occupied homes.
