About Us

Neighborhood Housing Services of Kansas City, Inc.

NHSKC was organized in 1974. During the past three decades the organization evolved into a 501(C) (3) not-for-profit organization, and was designated and recognized as a Community Development Corporation (CDC) by the City of Kansas City, Missouri and a Community Housing and Development Organization (CHDO) by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In 1994 the organization became a chartered NeighborWorks® Organization (NWO) in connection with NeighborWorks® America’s national network of neighborhood-based affiliates.

NHSKC’s mission is "to revitalize and maintain designated urban neighborhoods as vibrant areas that attract people who value diversity, historic architecture, security and community."
