Kansas City Land Bank Strategic Plan

Disinvestment and blight in neighborhoods with high concentrations of vacant, abandoned, and tax-foreclosed properties threaten public safety, undermined homeownership opportunities, and limited equitable access to land and housing for low-income residents. The Land Bank of Kansas City was created to return these underutilized properties to productive use. This strategic plan outlines goals and actions to sell land bank parcels for affordable housing, economic development, and community revitalization. It prioritizes properties for side yards, green spaces, urban agriculture, and homeownership, while improving property management, clearing title issues, and marketing land for sustainable, community-centered development.
