Our Progress
Follow along as Rebuild Our Block moves from planning to action. This page will be updated as projects move forward.
Patterson Family Foundation Grant
Rebuild Our Block is supported in part by a 2026 grant from the Patterson Family Foundation. This private investment is being directed toward housing and infrastructure needs in rural Kansas — helping five South Central Kansas counties remove deteriorated structures and create opportunities for new housing development. Kiowa County Economic Development administers the initiative in cooperation with local governments, land banks, contractors, and regional partners.
