Mercy In The City is proposing the construction of two new duplexes in the Lykins neighborhood of Kansas City — creating four new affordable units for families who need them most. Each unit will be a spacious 3-bedroom home, designed to accommodate growing families and provide long-term housing stability in a neighborhood that has seen decades of disinvestment.
With $1.3 million in total capital needed, this new construction project would bring four additional families off waitlists and into safe, stable, permanently affordable homes. Architectural drawings are complete and Mercy In The City is actively seeking financing partners to move this project forward.
The Lykins neighborhood sits in the urban core of Kansas City and has long been targeted for reinvestment. New construction of affordable housing here — owned and operated by a trusted community organization like Mercy In The City — is exactly the kind of coordinated, mission-aligned development The Way Home exists to accelerate.
Mercy In The City is seeking $1.3 million to fund the complete construction of both duplexes in the Lykins neighborhood. Architectural drawings are in hand — partners are needed to move from plans to groundbreaking.
The Way Home connects builders, lenders, and funders to deliver affordable homes and community infrastructure at the speed Kansas City needs.
