County may get homeless aid
Money targets rural counties
By Andy Taylor
Kansan staff writer
Douglas County could receive additional financing for housing for homeless people who are mentally handicapped if the Douglas County Commission approves a proposal by Housing and Urban Development.
Dennis Shockley, director of housing for the state of Kansas, told the commission yesterday that the Johnson County Housing Authority would establish the Rural Operation Homeless Program, which would provide money to subsidize the rent and utilities for 36 housing units in Douglass, Franklin and Miami counties. Douglas County would receive nine.
He said the program targeted homelessness in rural areas.
"One thing I discovered is that there is a rural homeless problem in the state." Shockley said. "It isn't as readily apparent as in the urban areas, where you see people sleeping on grates. In rural areas it is more invisible."
He said that HUD signed contracts with the states to administer the program, but that the state of Kansas did not have a department of housing, which is necessary to conduct such a project. The Johnson County Housing Authority signed a contract to manage the program throughout the state.
Shookley said that state officials currently are forming a department of housing and that the Johnson County Housing Authority would sign over the program to the state after the department is established.
Although the program designated Douglas County as a rural county, qualified people in all towns of Douglas County, including Lawrence, could apply for the units, he said.
"For the purpose of this program, Douglas County is considered rural." Shockley said. "But we all recognize that Lawrence is an urban area."
The purpose is to assist residents in
building facilities and utilities, not for
construction of fireplaces.
be the first program for homeless people who are mentally handicapped.
Charlotte Knoche, director of the Lawrence Housing Authority, said the Lawrence Housing Authority could not administer the program because of a technicality.
Knoche said that if the county commission did not approve the proposal, the federal agency would appropriate the money to other counties.
Chris McKenzie, county administrator, said the issue was whether the county wanted the money to meet a housing need, not who would administer the program.
She said the problem came from the way HUD granted money to the area housing agencies for all federally-mandated housing programs.
"I think that we would all like to have this done locally, but it is just not possible," he said.
The commissioners accepted the report from HUD and directed county staff to review it for consideration at a future meeting.

After submitting the low bid of $102,667, McPherson Wrecking Co. of Grantville will begin removing debris from Hoch Auditorium, assuming its bids pass review by University and state officials.

"Until we get heat or electricity in the house, it won't not sure if we'll be using it."
The project is being financed by the $100,000 set aside for the former roofing project, said Alan Wiechert, Uni-
in the front section of the Hoch rubble, but all classrooms were gone.
The demolition of the remaining brick walls also is included in the project. Another contract will be awarded in the spring to build a temporary roof over the remaining structure to prevent further weather damage.

"Plans won't be final until we get the leibris off the top of the structure to see how they're going to support the roof," Wiechert said.
Workers found most of the graduation commencement equipment in the basement was salvageable except for the sound mixing board, he said. A $25,000 sound mixing board has been ordered and should be delivered in time for May commencement.
