Neosho, Missouri -- The Economic Security Corporation of the Southwest Area and its Housing Division opened two new homes at 1404 and 1410 Sally Ann Street in Neosho on April 23 that were funded by Missouri Housing Development Commission.

The two three-bedroom/two bath homes were funded through a $196,200 federal HOME fund grant and providing affordable housing where two previously vacant lots were located. EOC-SA also received a $20,000 HOME CHDO operating grant.

“We are pleased that this type of in-fill development sparks more interest in neighborhoods,” said Erica Dobreff.
The rental properties have already influenced local development. The builder has already built a similar home at market-rate for a buyer who liked the layout and look of the house. This has further influenced the builder to build a similar model home to begin marketing the additional currently vacant lots in this neighborhood.
