Good morning Kalamazoo!
KNHS is without power this morning☹️. Consumers tree trimming. That means phones and internet. We hope to be back up and operational by noon.

A new roof is one repair you can’t afford to ignore—but coming up with thousands of dollars to replace one isn’t easy.

KNHS may be able to help. Our home repair program offers affordable financing for qualifying homeowners, along with guidance through the repair process—from assessing your needs to connecting you with qualified contractors.
Don’t let the cost keep you from making a critical repair. Talk to KNHS and see what options may be available to you.

When we grow, our community benefits! 🌱

Two members of the KNHS team recently traveled to Miami Beach for the NeighborWorks Training Institute’s “Waves of Leadership” convention – joining housing and community development professionals from across the country to learn, connect and explore new ideas.

Why? Because staying informed about what’s happening in our industry helps us bring better knowledge, resources and solutions home to the people we serve right here in Kalamazoo!
