Home Repair Assistance
Low– and moderate-income homeowners who want to repair their homes may benefit from several programs.
Minor Home Repair
The City partners with Johnson County Housing Services to provide Minor Home Repair services. The program provides limited assistance for repairs that, if left unattended, would have a direct impact on the homeowner’s health and safety or accessibility. Repair work focuses on internal and external improvements, including mechanical systems in the home, and devices or modifications, to make the house accessible. Limited code citations may also be addressed. Renters with disabilities may be eligible for accessibility improvements under this program.
Johnson County Housing Services also operates the HOME Program to address major home repairs. This assistance is provided as a forgivable loan.
Home Weatherization
In November 2023, the City of Overland Park launched a pilot home weatherization program for low-income households. Through a partnership with East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation (ECKAN), eligible households can receive energy-efficiency improvements focused on heating and cooling, with energy savings valued at up to $15,000.
Residents may be eligible for other assistance ECKAN provides. Learn more about this opportunity on the ECKAN website.
Services for Vulnerable Populations
The City provides funds to nonprofit organizations that serve people experiencing homelessness or fleeing domestic violence. Shelter services and case management assistance to find stable housing may be provided. Apply directly to the partner agency if you are seeking assistance.
Fair Housing
Overland Park believes that everyone has the right to choose housing free from discrimination. If you have experienced housing discrimination based on your race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender and sexual orientation), familial status or disability status, file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
You can report housing discrimination online, by mail or by phone at 913-551-6993 or 1-800-669-9777. If you need accommodation or assistance, call the Federal Information Relay Service at TTY: 1-800-877-8339 for support with filing a complaint or getting information about fair housing.
