Once the online waiting list application has been submitted, applicants must complete the application checklist and work with a partner agency to complete an assessment and homeless certification. A list of partner agencies, a link to the online application, homeless certification forms, income guidelines and an application checklist will be available on the SEK-CAP website, www. sek-cap.com/services/housing The TBRA program, funded through the Kansas Housing Resources Corp., assists qualifying individuals and families with rental subsidies, as well as security and utility deposits.
