Neighborhood Repair & Rehabilitation Program (NRRP)

How it works

The Neighborhood Repair & Rehabilitation Program (NRRP) is a City of Salina home-repair program designed to improve the livability and structural integrity of homes so they remain habitable and part of the residential housing market. The City says the program is intended to fix real housing needs, not cosmetic remodeling.

The program is funded through two sources:

• FHLBank Affordable Housing Program: for owner-occupied homes within Salina city limits
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): for owner-occupied and rental homes in a specific target area in Saline County Census Tract 3

The page says the City is actively working with both grant projects. It also says each home will be bid individually over the course of the next 3 years.

What the money covers

The official page lists allowable rehabilitation activities such as:

• Building exterior work: foundation, roof, gutters, doors, windows, siding, and insulation
• Heating system work
• Plumbing system work
• Electrical system and appliances
• Building interior work: ceilings, walls, floors, doors, ventilation, and smoke detectors
• And more

The page also notes that the work can include roofing, exterior maintenance, mechanical, heating/cooling, electrical, plumbing, structural, and doors/windows installation. The stated purpose is to ensure homes are safe and compliant with applicable local, state, and federal building codes and regulations.

Amounts and project counts

• FHLBank grant: the City says it was awarded $999,999 to rehabilitate 44 owner-occupied properties.
• CDBG grant: the page says a $300,000 grant was awarded in February 2025 to help rehabilitate 12 homes.

How to apply

Applicants can apply online by choosing the correct application for their property type and location. The page also says homeowners may visit the Community Relations Division in Room 101 of the City/County Building at 300 W. Ash, Salina, KS to complete the application in person.
