Manhattan Housing Authority recently awarded a $2.6 million grant to start a Bridge to Housing Stability program for Kansas Emergency Rental Assistance applicants. MHA commissioner, Brad Claussen says, applying is worth the effort to go through the process. MHA has provided around $1.4M to property owners directly. Assistance is temporary. Individuals are granted 3 months of assistance and encouraged to re-certify. Applicants must go through KERA to get the process started and once approved you are handed off to a local entity. There remains over $200M for housing assistance at the state level.
