Governor Laura Kelly announced today that nearly $10 million has been awarded to nine recipients for the construction or renovation of housing for persons with disabilities and the elderly. Included in those awards is the Villas at Pinnacle Pointe, who will receive just over $1 million. Governor Kelly says safe and accessible residential communities for elderly and disabled Kansans are necessary for living independently and these awards will increase housing options that meet the needs of these communities. High-needs populations already were struggling with housing access and availability before COVID-19. Senate President, Ty Masterson, says “the pandemic only intensified those issues. Using ARPA funding to help resolve them makes perfect sense”.
