Mid-America Regional Council Community Services Corporation

The regional housing partnership (rhp), a partnership between marc and lisc of greater kansas city, receives grants from local philanthropic organizations to support the work of community organizations and local governments across the region in producing and preserving more housing, maintain a housing search tool called kchousinglocator.com, and assist other agencies with applying for funding at the federal, state, and local level. The rhp began convening a strategy committee of local housing experts in 2022 that spend time applying system's thinking principles to regional housing issues, creating innovative solutions for addressing the housing shortage.

Marc receives grants from private foundations to support work around public health in the region. During 2024, this work included supporting the continued coordination of the 988 mobile response system, health equity programming, education and certification for community health workers, some covid support, and messaging to increase community awareness around opioid risks.

Other programs include: economic development, thriving older adults & communities, capacity building for not-profits, community support network, and workforce development.
