This is their first house in Dodge City for their Abandoned Housing Program. In October of 2012, the City of Dodge City was a recipient of the grant money that the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation awarded through the Moderate Income Housing Program in the amount of $100,000 on behalf of the Abandoned Housing Program. That grant money along with the $50,000 the City has budgeted and the $20,000 the Development Corporation donated towards the Abandoned Housing Program will be a tremendous start for this project and the program. Interfaith has begun recruiting volunteers to work on this project, if you are interested in helping, please contact Kaci Davignon at Interfaith Housing Services located at 100 Military Avenue, Suite 104 or (620) 662.8370.
