Governor Laura Kelly Announces Nearly $25M Has Supported Over 2,300 Kansas Homeowners 

The Kelly Administration granted the funding for the temporary relief initiative distributed by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) to help Kansas homeowners experiencing pandemic-related financial hardship avoid foreclosure and catch up on their mortgages and property taxes. The program assists with mortgage payments, property taxes and charges, utility and internet fees, and more.  

“Housing stability is essential for strong families, healthy communities, and a thriving economy,” said Ryan Vincent, Executive Director of Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC). “This assistance keeps families safely housed and preserves the dream of homeownership for Kansans facing hardship.”  

Currently, 2,321 KHAF applications have been granted assistance, and additional funds remain to assist homeowners. Kansans who have fallen behind on their mortgage and/or property tax payments are encouraged to apply now.  

Eligible applicants must meet the following criteria: 

• You own your home in Kansas and are at least 30 days past due on mortgage or property taxes. 

• The property (a single-family home, one-to-four-unit dwelling, condo, townhome, or manufactured home) is your primary residence. 
• Your recent income did not exceed 150 percent of your area’s median income. 
• Your household has experienced financial hardship during the COVID pandemic. 

Kansans requesting KHAF assistance are encouraged to apply online. If approved, funds are paid directly to the service provider(s), who apply them to the homeowner’s account(s). 

More than 200 mortgage loan servicers partner with the KHAF program as participating lenders. The program will remain open until program funds are fully expended. Homeowners are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure their application is processed in a timely manner.
