REHABILITATION OF FLINT HILLS PLACE
Manhattan Housing Authority
 |  |  |
The Flint Hills Place development is a public housing development owned and operated by the Manhattan
Housing Authority. Constructed in 1973, the development has received several improvements over the
years through the use of capital funding provided by HUD. However, due to the age, construction and
normal wear and tear over the years, the development is in need of major renovations in order to ensure
quality affordable housing, and to avoid a potential marketing problem with the construction of the Gardens
on the adjacent tract of land.
On February 10, 2006 the Manhattan Housing Authority submitted an application to the Special
Applications Center of HUD to dispose of the land and structures which occupy approximately 7.5 acres at
the corner of North Manhattan and Kimball Avenue to the Manhattan Area Housing Partnership (MAHP).
The purpose of this request was to facilitate improvements to be financed through Low Income Housing
Tax Credits (LIHTC) in the amount of $3,068,470; Permanent Loan (Horizon Bank) $495,000 and Deferred
Developer Fees of $8,000, bringing the total project cost to $3,714,470. Once completed, the existing units
will blend with the new construction to have the appearance of one congruent affordable housing campus.
The rent structure will change from 100% public housing to a 50/50 mix of public housing (income-based
rent) and tax credit housing (fixed rents below fair market rents). This is commonly known as a ‘mixed
finance development’. The Housing Authority will continue to manage the property but will have no
ownership to the property.
The development consists of one, two, three and four bedroom units, all with one bath except in the four
bedroom units that contain two; the units are contained in triplexes and four-plexes, and a maintenance
shop on-site. Amenities include an on-site office, common areas for residents, a resident computer lab,
playground equipment, and a covered bus shelter. Two units (a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom) have
been removed from the rent rolls to accommodate the office and computer lab space. A Host/Hostess and
Groundskeeper reside on-site and are provided a deduction in their rent for monthly services. Applicants
must be income eligible, meeting 80% of Area Median Income guidelines in addition to other screening
criteria.
The Manhattan Housing Authority deeded all property to MAHP on September 5, 2007. Construction on the
first six buildings started on September 19, 2007.
