The City of Salina was recently selected by the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation as a recipient of a HOME program grant award in the amount of $250,000, with matching funds from the City of approximately $100,000.

This grant will be used for rehabilitation of existing owner occupied houses within the city limits of Salina. Income limits for homeowners are as follows:

Monthly “gross” income limits for the HOME grant:
 
Family Size                    Monthly Income Limit
    1                                    $2,808
    2                                    $3,208
    3                                    $3,608
    4                                    $4,008

Homeowners who have been assisted in the past 10 years with HOME or CDBG grant funds from the City of Salina are not eligible for assistance from this grant.
