Quality, Affordable Housing in Kansas City’s Historic Westside

Westside Housing Organization is dedicated to providing affordable housing to low- and moderate-income families.  While we are committed to offering safe, decent, and affordable housing options, we do not offer any form of rental assistance programs.  All applicants interested in our housing must meet specific eligibility requirements, which include income limits and other criteria as outlined in our application process.  We strive to support families in finding stable housing within our own portfolio, but all applicants must qualify based on our set guidelines. Some of the Eligibility Guidelines for Affordable Housing are the following: 

  • Income Limits: Applicants must meet specific income requirements, based on the area’s median income (AMI). Income limits are set to ensure that the housing remains affordable to low- and moderate-income families.
  • Household Size: The number of people in the household may impact eligibility, as housing units are often allocated based on family size.  Larger households may qualify for larger units.
  • Credit and Background Checks: Applicants may be subject to a credit check and background screening.
  • Residency Status: Some of our programs may require applicants to have specific residency status. (e.g., U.S. Citizenship or Legal U.S. Residence).
  • Employment or Income Verification: Proof of income, such as pay stubs, tax returns, SSI award letter, or bank statements, is required to verify that applicants meet the income limits.  Applicants must make at least three (3) times the rent. 
  • Rental History: A positive rental history, including references from previous landlords, may be considered. Applicants should have a history of paying rent on time and maintaining rental properties.
  • Other Program-Specific Requirements: Depending on the housing program, applicants may need to meet additional requirements.

Please complete an application if you are interested in our rental properties listed below. All rental applications will be processed in the order of receipt.  An application which is not completed in its entirety may be rejected or delay the application process.  An application may also be rejected for any misrepresentations, please read over our Tenant Selection Plan link below for more information. We never guarantee a unit to anyone or give availability over the phone.  Everyone must fill out an application first.

Please note, all of our properties have a NO PETS ALLOWED policy for new incoming tenants.
