The Office of Rural Prosperity and Kansas Housing Resources Commission have been working on Kansas’ first comprehensive housing needs assessment in nearly 30 years. Since the study launch, work has been underway in taking the first step to more fully understanding where shortages exist in quality, affordable housing across the state.

There are three ways the public can provide feedback, which is critical in measuring community and stakeholder input:

1. Complete the online survey, in English or Spanish.
2. Take part in your region’s public listening session. Sessions will be available in person and virtually.
   • April 27: Johnson and Wyandotte Counties
   • April 28: Southeast – Iola
   • April 29: North Central – Salina
   • May 4 – 5: Southwest – Dodge City
   • May 13: Sedgwick County
