On December 18th, 2013, an open house will
be held for the local historic home located on
801 1st Street, Dodge City from 4:00 pm- 7:00

“We are so excited to have worked with
the City of Dodge City, as well as the many
volunteers from the community who have
made this house come to life,” says John Scott,
President of IHS.
Those interested in attending the event are
welcome to enjoy refreshments and a tour of
the home.
Interfaith Housing Services, Inc., along with
the First Christian Church of Dodge City have
partnered together to bring three families in need
a home. In efforts to expand their campus, the
First Christian Church has donated three homes
to IHS to make way for a parking lot.
The homes will be relocated to Ninth Street in
Dodge City, where basements have been poured.
Once relocated, the homes will be renovated and
sold to clients in need utilizing Interfaith Housing
Services’ programs such as the Creating Assets,
Savings, and Hope program (CASH).
“We are excited to be able to offer clients the opporutnity to purchase a home,”
says Kaci Davignon, Western Kansas Coordinator. It is our goal to transition folks
from rental housing to home-ownership.”
