Weatherization Program Has New Service Providers
Kansas Ag Connection - 08/22/2017
A 25-county region in southwest Kansas will be split and will receive new service providers for the Kansas Weatherization Assistance Program this month. The region had been served by Interfaith Housing Services, Inc. for the previous 9 years.
Through a competitive application process of the weatherization program by Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC), North Central Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC) and South Central Kansas Economic Development District, Inc
(SCKEDD) have been selected as the new service providers. NCRPC will expand their historically served territory in northwest and northcentral Kansas to now include the counties of Barton, Greeley, Lane, Ness, Rush, Scott, and Wichita. SCKEDD will
expand their historically served territory in southcentral Kansas to now provide services to Clark, Comanche, Edwards, Finney, Ford, Grant, Gray, Hamilton, Haskell, Hodgeman, Kearney, Kiowa, Meade, Morton, Pawnee, Seward, Stanton, and Stevens
counties.
The change was effective July 11, and staff at all agencies have begun work to make the transition as smooth as possible to ensure that eligible southwest Kansas households continue to receive high-quality weatherization services. Individuals in southwest
Kansas wishing to apply for the Weatherization Assistance Program should now contact their respective county service provider. NCRPC can be reached at 1-800-432-0303 or at www.ncrpc.org/services/housing/weatherization/. SCKEDD can be reached at
316-262-7035 or at www.sckedd.org/applications/.
KHRC wishes to express extreme gratitude for the many years of service Interfaith Housing Services, Inc has provided administering the weatherization program in SW Kansas. Since 2009, IHS has expended over $7.5 million to weatherize over 1100 homes
and assisted an estimated 2524 people through the program. IHS will continue to provide high-quality housing services through a range of programs.
