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, siding, 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 contractors in building affordable residential homes in Coffey County. CCHA will guarantee an interest payment of up to $2,500 to a lending institution on the purchase of materials for an affordable new construction spec home of $150,000 or less. An application must be completed by the contractor, approved by the board, a bank letter of intent and all guidelines must be followed.

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 fax, Face book, email 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.
