Most KC Area Housing Provider Groups have joined together to form the KC Regional Housing Alliance We are meeting with individual council members and with the mayor to present our own Housing Bill of Rights. We need your help. Show up at the meeting if you can or call or e-mail council members. 

This ordinance would restrict a landlord's ability to screen tenants, would use taxpayer money to fund a tenant's advocacy office that would assist tenants in any disputes against landlords and could potentially revoke your permit if a tenant complains.

We are also collecting data on who the housing providers are in Kansas City - we have a fairly details survey:

In order to help us make sure we are giving a clear picture of all of the housing providers in our city, please help us collect data to share to reflect the collective impact that we as housing providers have on our rental units in Kansas City, MO. Thank you for helping to tell our story.
