KCHA's updated voucher payment standards take effect on January 1, 2021.

KCHA, along with the Seattle, Tacoma and Renton housing authorities, wrote an op-ed decrying the termination of HUD’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. The action repeals rules that have provided critical tools for dismantling historic racism in housing. Instead it prioritizes local control of housing policy over federal interventions to address the legacy of segregation, in effect giving localities a green light to discriminate.

Stephen J. Norman, Executive Director, KCHA, has issued a public statement addressing the long-standing impacts of systemic racial discrimination, and the need to dismantle racism and eliminate inherent white advantage wherever it exists.

To protect the health and safety of our staff, clients, and community partners, and to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, all KCHA offices are closed to walk-ins until further notice. Our staff will continue to be available by telephone and email during this time.
