I’d like to share some news that shows the power of our neighbors to make huge strides in 2020 and made 2020 their best year yet.

Helping low-income families remain stably housed is something that CSL has helped with since we were formed in 1916.

The addition of a loan product to support improved housing situations provides a supply of assistance that can be replenished as borrowers make their payments.

The expansion is a direct result of CSL’s outstanding work in administering other HUD program dollars that has led to positive outcomes in our community.

After we were awarded the opportunity to expand our work, we became aware of 10 Veterans at risk of losing their housing in the Kansas City area. The timing was perfect for us to intercede and bring these Veterans under our new contract.

Staff worked long and hard to get the house move-in ready with all of the essentials so that it was not just a house - it was a place Samuel, Bessie, and their children could call “HOME”. On November 2, 2016, the family moved in and now has a place to lay their heads at night and make everlasting memories.
