KCATA, in collaboration with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Kansas City, is transforming a former parking lot and office space site into a vibrant mixed-income, multi-family housing and equitable Transit-Oriented Community Development. The project combines access to jobs, housing, and healthcare while the project's 38 affordable housing units align with Kansas City, Missouri affordable housing policies and federal priorities.
The project will integrate a bus shelter into the facility, moving the existing transit stop four blocks closer while upgrading from a sign-only stop to a safe, heated, and cooled waiting environment for residents. The facility will also encourage various modes of transportation, including access to RideKC bus route 23, as well as scooter and bike storage. Thanks to this Public Private Partnership, each tenant will also have access to an electric vehicle car-sharing program, resulting in transportation cost and emissions savings.
- Affordable housing options in the Crossroads neighborhood with access to multiple modes of transportation
- Relocation and upgrades to transit stop and shelter
- Tenant amenities include multiple transportation options, including EV carshare program
