Minor Home Repair Modification Program

North Kansas City partnered with Northland Neighborhoods, Inc. and Rebuilding Together Kansas City to develop a new NKC Minor Home Repair and Home Modification Program support low- to moderate-income homeowners with needed home repairs. This new program assists homeowners who do not have the financial means to respond to code violations and/or modify their homes to accommodate their mobility and access needs. Safety repairs and modifications can include:
• Modifications to bathrooms and showers
• Replacing or repairing steps, stair railings, and walkways
• Minor home repairs, including electrical and plumbing repairs
• HVAC repair/replacements
• Exterior home repairs

For more information, please contact Community Development at 816-274-6006.
