MARC Seeks Big Housing Grant | Wichita News

MARC is on the verge of a major housing breakthrough, eyeing up to $9.7 million in HUD funding to slash red tape and boost affordable housing across four key cities—Kansas City, KS; Excelsior Springs, MO; Independence, MO; and Kansas City, MO. With $1 million earmarked just for regional planning, they’re building a unified strategy while also securing $200K from the Administration for Community Living to empower aging and disabled residents to live independently longer. After a previous grant miss, this round could launch as early as December—with another housing opportunity looming under the new 21st Century Road to Housing Act. Beyond housing, MARC’s expanding into early childhood education, AI-driven healthcare, and wetland conservation, turning federal dollars into real community impact.
