HOUSING PROGRAMS RECEIVE TRUST FUND ALLOCATION
[Kansas City] The Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) approved more than $4 million in funding for 55 projects through the Missouri Housing Trust Fund (MHTF). The Commission approved the funding during their monthly meeting March 20 in Jefferson City, Missouri.
Last fall MHDC issued a Notice of Funding Availability of MHTF funds and requested proposals for housing programs and services. Ninety-four proposals were submitted for MHTF funding requesting almost $11.5 million.
Eligible MHTF activities range from homeless programs to homeownership assistance, including homeless shelters, rental assistance programs, development of new or rehabilitated rental and single family housing that are funded through grants or loans.
MHTF is designed to increase affordable housing opportunities for low-income families. The process of granting or loaning funds to housing providers across the state is accomplished by the comparison of competing applications and selection is based on need, location, targeted population served, funds leveraged, coordination with the community, and experience of the providers. All of the funds must be used for families with income levels at, or below, 50 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size, and 50 percent of the funds must be set aside for families with income levels at, or below, 25 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size.
Programs approved for funding are attached. More information about MHDC and its programs can be found at their website (http://www.mhdc.com/) or by writing MHDC at 3435 Broadway, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.
