About Resident Services

The primary mission of the Resident Services Program is to empower residents who need and desire services, toward the goal of self-reliance whenever possible, while recognizing the interrelatedness of safe and affordable housing with quality of life.

Our services address Welfare Reform and Moving To Work Initiatives by establishing personalized support services to promote economic self-sufficiency and support healthy aging in place.

Programs and services are primarily funded through grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Special projects have been funded through grants from the Kansas Health Foundations, Kansas Self-Help Network, Lawrence Arts Commission, Southwestern Bell Foundation, Target Community Foundation, and the Kansas Department of Health and Human Resources. Resident Services has two main offices located at Edgewood Homes family housing complex and Babcock Place senior housing complex.
