Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund | Kansas Housing Resources Corporation Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (KHAF) Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund The pandemic created a housing crisis, threatening Kansas homeowners’ ability to keep up with mortgage and utility payments. As of May 2021, this has led to 15,430 home loans delinquent, of which 70% of these loans were behind more than 90 days.
As a result, thousands of homeowners were at risk of losing their homes and having their utilities shut off. Without aid, homeowners were left to struggle through the pandemic’s effects.

KHAF was established with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to help qualifying Kansas homeowners get current on their mortgages and avoid foreclosure. KHAF has provided nearly $49 million in assistance, preventing foreclosure for more than 4,350 homeowners.
