Proudest
Achievement
NHS is proud of our overall 30-year track record of providing
consistent service in our communities related to our mortgage
financing for home purchase and home improvement, as well
as our single-family home development and renovation work,
particularly along the historic Paseo Corridor. NHS has received
significant recognition over the past several years for these
efforts. Most recently, The Economic Development Corporation
of Kansas City , Missouri , awarded a 2003 Cornerstone Award
to NHS in recognition of our Historic Paseo Boulevard revitalization
effort.
Priorities
for 2004-2005
Implementation of NHS' Parkway Redevelopment Plan, which was
approved by Mayor Kay Barnes and the City Council on Jan.
8, 2004, is one of our top priorities for the next few years.
In summary, the seven-year plan includes approximately 120
new single-family homes, 100 fully rehabilitated homes, and
150 fully rehabilitated multi-family apartment units. Additionally,
approximately 130 existing low-to-moderate-income homeowners
will be provided direct home improvement/renovation assistance.
In total, the plan entails an estimated $38 million in residential
real estate reinvestment in the heart of Kansas City 's urban
core. Redevelopment assistance via the urban renewal provisions
of Chapter 99 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, if approved
by the City of Kansas City, Missouri, as well as a wide range
of public and private financing are a part of this plan.
