This past weekend, our team attended KC PrideFest to connect with community members and share information about our services. 🌈

We spoke with attendees about fair housing rights and home rehabilitation programs available to Johnson County homeowners. Safe, stable housing is a foundation for belonging. 🏡

We’re proud to support our LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month. 🌻

👏 We want to congratulate and recognize C. Clark a recent Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) graduate. Clark and her children were homeless before receiving an Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV). She was also a recipient of the blessings basket assembled and distributed last year. She is now fully self-sufficient and is no longer receiving assistance from Johnson County Housing.

Clark stated she is forever grateful for the assistance and support in her time of need.

Johnson County Housing Services is committed to enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable individuals by promoting housing stability, safety and accessibility.

🎉Congratulations C. Clark!
