Housing has been at the forefront of the Country for several years, and public officials are beginning to understand that everyone needs a place to live to have a healthy and vibrant community.

This McPherson County conference will provide Landlords, Developers, Builders, and the social service community with information on State and Federal grants and local resources and the opportunity to share information with other participants.
