" The 2022 HE[ART]LAND Fellows are being hosted by the Housing Authority of Kansas City to present the second showcase of the fellowship program. Over the course of this 12 week program, our 6 artists have been learning about public policy as it relates to houselessness in Kansas City. They've taken their new knowledge and translated it into performances ranging from sketch comedy to original music.
Following the performance will be a talk back with the artists and an open mic open to any young people in attendance.
Come get inspired, learn about public policy, and enjoy original work by some of the most creative minds Kansas City has to offer.
Admission is free and the recommended donation of $15 will go towards HE[ART]LAND's vision of producing creative leaders. Register for a ticket at the link below"

Congratulations to our 6 Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) graduates for June 2021. They together earned over $90,000.00 in escrow savings. What is the FSS program? It is a voluntary program designed to promote employment and increase household income for voucher and Public Housing participants. When family income increases, the family escrow savings increases as well. “That is outstanding!! Congratulations to the FSS team on a job well done. Congrats to our participants as well! We are reaching new heights. The sky is the limit!” – Gerald Douglas, Director of Resident Services.
