Home Rehabilitation

Over the past several years, CCHA has obtained and administered in excess of a million dollars worth of housing Preservation/Rehabilitation grants. These grants have been used for home repairs including; roofs, windows, ramps and various needed construction projects. Applicants must meet guidelines and provide all required paperwork. This program is active only when funding is available, contact CCHA for an application or for more information and guidelines.

Developers Incentive

The developers Incentive program is designed to assist contactors in building affordable residential spec homes in Coffey County. CCHA will pay the interest of a project up to $2500 to a lending institution on the purchase of materials for an affordable new construction spec home outlined by our area income guidelines. An application must be completed by the contractor, a bank letter of intent and all guidelines followed before it goes to the CCHA board for approval.

Rental Resource Guide

CCHA provides at no charge to landlords and tenants a listing of current property in the County to rent. Landlords list their properties with CCHA and we distribute to all areas we can. Renters are then able to obtain the guide by Facebook, email, fax or stopping by the office. This will help them find housing in Coffey County. The resource guide is updated as changes occur and notification is received at the office.
