Moderate Income Housing
Case Study
In Pittsburg, job growth is creating a need for more housing. KHRC and city officials have used the Moderate Income Housing Program to redevelop a city block that was once the site of an elementary school. MIH funding was used to relocate water and sewer lines and provide homebuyer assistance for the development of 10 single-family homes at an average cost of $166,750 each.
Former elementary school site converted to ten single-family homes, Pittsburg, Kansas
Program Description
The Moderate Income Housing (MIH) program serves the needs of moderate-income households that typically don’t qualify for federal housing assistance. MIH grants and/or loans are awarded to cities and counties with populations fewer than 60,000 to develop single or multi-family properties for homeownership or rentals. Projects can be for new construction, rehabilitation, or conversion from another use.
