The City of Salina has been awarded $300,000 through the Kansas Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This grant will provide a portion of the funding for the City’s Neighborhood Repair and Rehabilitation Program (NRRP), which started in early 2024.
The funding provided by CDBG allows NRRP to expand the pool of applicants. Through the CDBG program, rental properties may apply for rehabilitation funding, whereas the previous funding only allowed for owner-occupied homes.
The NRRP focuses on a 10-block area (see map below), with State Street to the north, Ninth Street to the east, South Street to the south, and Broadway to the west. The program strives to make improvements to the structural integrity of homes within this area. With these funds the City expects to assist around 12 homes.
