Program Overview

The Moderate Income Housing Rehabilitation Pilot Program offers reimbursement grants of up to $10,000 to homeowners in eligible counties to complete minor housing upgrades. Examples of eligible housing upgrades include items such as roofing, siding, windows or heating and air units.

Homeowners must provide a 10 percent match up to $1,000 as well as pay any costs above and beyond the $10,000 grant. Rental properties are not eligible for this program. Self-help (homeowner supplying the needed labor with the program supplying reimbursement for materials) is allowed, but a 10% match is still required.

Who is Eligible

2025 eligible service locations include the following Kansas counties: Ellsworth, Saline (located outside Salina city limits)*, Sheridan, Thomas, Trego, and Wallace.
*Saline County locations must be outside the boundaries of the City of Salina.

Assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis and limited on a per county basis.

Households must meet moderate income guidelines to be eligible to apply. Proof of the household income will be determined from the 2024 annual tax form 1040* using adjusted gross income guidelines listed in the table below. For example, a family of five (5) must have an adjusted gross income between $75,000 and $148,500 to qualify. For families larger than eight, contact NCRPC for income qualifications.

*Copy of Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return(s), for the 2024 tax year (excluding schedules) is required. If taxes are in extension, then ineligible.
