Kansas Housing Cooperative Loan Program
Many families in Northwest Kansas qualify for assistance through the Kansas Housing Cooperative Program — they just don’t know it yet.
Basic eligibility includes:
New single-family homes (up to 3,000 finished sq ft
Duplexes (1,000–1,600 sq. ft. per unit)
Located in communities of 10,000 residents or fewer
Owner-occupied new builds
Minimum down payment of 2.5% plus prepaids and closing costs
Mortgage payment less than or equal to 30% of monthly income
Minimum 5-year residency commitment
This program addresses critical housing shortages, increases local tax bases, attracts new families, and strengthens communities across the region. As real estate, banking, development professionals and community partners, you play a key role in connecting eligible families and builders to this opportunity.
