Housing Development & Rentals
The main purpose of the Housing Development Program is to assist low-income people in their efforts to have safe, decent, and affordable housing. There are several programs working towards this common goal. They include GHCAA's Housing Development Program, the Weatherization Program, and the Rental Rehabilitation Program.
The agency works in partnership with the State and community sources of information to assess the nine county North Central Missouri’s greatest needs. Typically, sources of information may include census data, area or community surveys, and statistical information collected by schools and other service agencies. Data is used as an indicator and may dictate the best place to construct a home. Market needs, funding sources, site availability, and construction demands determine the ultimate outcome of new home projects.
Assistance to individuals may simply include consultations enabling them to secure the best home at an affordable cost; or it may involve the agency becoming the building/homeowner providing an affordable rental home to persons in need of housing. Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri has been designated as a “CHDO”, Community Housing Development Organization, by Missouri Housing Development Commission. This designation is one of only 21 given to agencies in Missouri and GHCAA is one of the few CHDO’s who remain active in developing affordable housing. Funding for homes and apartments consists of grants, loans, and investments secured from the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) and other sources as available. Current projects funded and under development or those completed provide housing for 115 families. Housing consists of 50 apartments, 65 single-family homes.
