  • 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.
