Housing Improvement in the Green Impact Zone
The Green Impact Zone's neighborhood leaders, coordinating council, housing and weatherization program providers, and strategic partners will take a multi-pronged housing improvement program for existing homeowners and residents.
This will include a highly coordinated initiative to contact all residents, assess their housing needs, develop an individual strategy for each home, and implement this strategy.
This individualized approach to housing improvement will be supplemented by programs to rehabilitate foreclosed homes, develop new housing on vacant lots, remove dangerous buildings, address rental property maintenance and absentee ownership, and improve Kansas City Housing Authority property.
Weatherization, energy audits and energy efficiency incentives will be a big part of the housing improvement program.
