Earlier this week Turner Community Connection hosted a nice crowd to discuss all things Unified Government and the sales tax questions on the ballot. Thanks for the conversation, delicious food and a chance to catch up with community members.

Verse of the day:
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
- 2 Chronicles 7:14

Voice of the day;
We need a national reconciliation—a healing of America’s soul from the torment of oppression and hatred. We need to forgive one another for all of those things that belong to the past so that we can move into a better more hopeful tomorrow.
- Cardinal Wilton Gregory

Prayer of the day;
God of mercy and healing, guide us toward reconciliation, help us confront the oppression and hatred that divide us, and teach us to forgive one another with humility and compassion. Heal our nation’s wounds, give us courage to pursue justice and peace, and lead us toward a future rooted in love, understanding, and hope. Amen.

Verse of the day:
But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear, and do not be intimidated.
- 1 Peter 3:14

Voice of the day:
The point is that no one escapes suffering. It is part of the rhythm of life, part of the process of living. The question then is, for what are we willing to suffer?
- Joan Chittister

Prayer of the day:
God of purpose, help us find meaning in the sacrifices we make and the hardships we endure for the sake of love, justice, and one another. May our suffering never be in vain, but become a seed from which compassion grows, hope takes root, and a more just world begins to flourish. Amen.

Factory-built homes are going up on once vacant lots in KCK's Klamm Park neighborhood.

The homes are CrossMod homes, built off site by Clayton and set on permanent foundations. The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas is working with HUD, local developer Fran Sutton Homes and Clayton on the project, which Clayton says is part of a broader UG effort to turn bank-owned vacant land into new housing.

The design:
🏠 Clayton's single section CrossMod home, the Cypress floor plan
📐 990 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms
🛣️ Front-loaded layout built for narrow city lots
💵 Clayton says single section CrossMod homes are expected to run around $200,000 in most markets, including land
🏦 Eligible for conventional financing through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs, per Clayton

Clayton first showed the Cypress on the National Mall at HUD's Innovative Housing Showcase in September 2025. The first CrossMod homes in Klamm Park were unveiled with a ribbon cutting in March 2026.
