The Oak Park Townhomes will bring more than 20 affordable units to Kansas City, offering important on-site social and family services

Advantage Capital, a leading impact investment firm that invests with intention in underserved areas and expands access to affordable housing opportunities across the country, today announced the financial closing of The Oak Park Townhomes. The new construction in Kansas City, Mo. will offer affordable units to households at 40-, 50- and 60-percent of the area median income.

The financing was made in connection with the Federal and Missouri Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs, which provide credits to incentivize investment and accelerate affordable housing development.

“We are proud to participate in these important programs and be part of the housing solution in Kansas City,” said Michael Dubansky, Vice President, Advantage Capital. “Through our participation, we have been able to support thousands of affordable units for families across Missouri. And Oak Park Townhomes is a fantastic example of what we can achieve through the program—bringing quality housing with critical services to families in need.”

Once complete, Oak Park Townhomes will have a part-time service coordinator from Phoenix Family, a Kansas City-based nonprofit that empowers people living in low-income housing communities with the on-site support they need to gain stability and achieve self-sufficiency. Additionally, The Salvation Army of Kansas and Western Missouri will provide Veteran services, and First Call will provide substance abuse recovery, counseling and education.

Advantage Capital participates in state and federal tax credit programs to help finance housing developments and increase access to safe, high-quality, and affordable homes for low-income families, veterans, public service workers and other vulnerable populations in America.
