The Community Services League is working to get federal money for pandemic-related rental assistance into the hands of landlords and utilities, keeping hundreds of local families in their homes.

The Community Services League started taking applications April 5 and by June 24 had taken 2,128 – 60 percent from Independence and 14 percent from Blue Springs, CSL President and CEO Doug Cowan told legislators this week.
