Greenleaf receives $300K for improvements to housing

The City of Greenleaf recently received a $300,000 federal grant to rehabilitate about nine homes in the city. Low-to-moderate income families in Greenleaf can apply for that grant money to replace siding, roofs and windows. City clerk Wanda Uffman said city officials will attend a Feb. 19 meeting in Topeka to learn more about the grant they received.
According to Uffman, the city has been working for over a year to apply for the grant, and the city’s efforts to demolish unsafe structures in the city over the past decade helped them get this grant.
Uffman said the City of Greenleaf has paid to demolish many of the 20-plus structures in the city deemed unsafe in the past decade, and there is one house in the city that the council is considering demolishing with part of the grant funds.
