New CHDO houses taking shape

Four new homes are starting to take shape in Plainville as a result of the cooperative project between Northwest Kansas Housing in Hill City, Solomon Valley Homes LP, Rooks County Economic Development, and the state of Kansas.  In the coming months, three additional homes will be constructed in Stockton.

Northwest Kansas Housing is a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) formed under the umbrella of the Northwest Kansas Planning and Development Commission in Hill City.  Northwest Kansas Housing has completed previous projects in Norton, Ellis, Russell, and Smith Center just to name a few.

The homes will have handicap features, with one home being completely handicapped accessible and will have energy saving features throughout.  Three of the homes will have basements, with one home being built on slab with a safe room being paid for by the city.  Each home will be single-family, with three-bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs, and plumbing for a basement bathroom. Occupancy of the homes will be income-based, with no limits after the initial approval.

For more information on the homes, contact Loyce Schamberger at 785-421-2151, or Roger Hrabe at 785-425-6881.
