Neighborhood Repair and Rehabilitation Program (NRRP)

With the expansion of major employers and growth on the horizon, Salina has applied concentrated efforts since 2021 to improve the City’s housing stock for all residents. In 2021 the City adopted a revised housing plan (Live Salina 2021 Supplemental Update) and a housing incentive policy.  Since that time, the City has worked with developers to incentivize and begin construction on over 400 new owner-occupied homes and 500 new rental units. With new “green field” construction for housing underway and on track to meet the housing plan goals, City efforts are now turning to the next stage in the housing strategy, “infill” development.  Infill development focuses on stabilizing and improving established neighborhoods and the older homes and vacant lots within them.

On March 12, 2023, City staff presented an infill housing strategy to the City Commission.  The strategy identified several programs available to Salina that can provide resources for repairing and rehabilitating older homes. The strategy is based on research,  the housing plan’s recommendations, best practices from around Kansas and neighboring states, stakeholder feedback, and dialogue with the City Commission.  Eligibility for these grants requires pre-application activities and documentation, including community interest survey. 

The Neighborhood Repair and Rehabilitation Program (NRRP) is funded by FHLBank and CDBG

Submit your application online by choosing the following:

  • FHLB Application 
  • CDBG Owner Occupied Application 
  • CDBG RENTAL Application - Rental units cannot be vacant.

OR visit Community Relations Division in the City/County Building, 300 W. Ash, Rm 101, Salina, KS to complete the application in person.

This program is not intended to cover mere cosmetic remodeling.

  • Building Exterior - foundation, roof, gutters, doors, windows, siding, and insulation
  • Heating System
  • Plumbing System
  • Electrical System & Appliances
  • Building Interior - ceilings, walls, floors, doors, ventilation, smoke detectors
  • And more...
