Affordable housing project planned for Baldwin City and Eudora
Tenants to Homeowners will use a $400000 Kansas Housing Resources Corporation allocation to fund three new houses and two purchases in Baldwin City and Eudora. The program aims to offer $40000 subsidies per home to reduce loan amounts to 30 percent or less of buyers’ income, with subsidies staying with the homes. Habitat for Humanity will build Eudora homes on Stevens Street, while Tenants to Homeowners builds Baldwin City homes on infill sites.
