Wichita City Council was briefed May 30 on a housing package that includes a funding and development contract for the first third phase of the MAC project and a separate HOME program funding item for two homes to be built by Habitat.

City Manager described the MAC item as approving funding and a development contract for supportive housing and non-congregate units. City Manager said the plan uses "$10,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of the public housing" to help fund the project and noted the city will not use tax credits for this phase. The housing item will be eligible for public comment when it reaches the agenda.

Separately, staff previewed an item to approve HOME funding for the construction of two homes by Habitat. Council members asked process questions about public comment and scheduling; no final votes or contract signings occurred during the agenda-review session.

Staff credited internal teams, saying "kudos to Sally and her staff for being able to pull this off," and said several existing units are being rehabilitated and will return to the tax rolls. Specific contract terms, total project budget beyond the $10,000,000 proceeds, and final award conditions were not detailed during the preview and will be returned for formal action and public comment.
