Celebrating 85 Years of Building Communities

On November 5, 2026, the Housing Authority of Kansas City, Missouri (HAKC) commemorated its 85th anniversary with an evening dedicated to honoring its history, celebrating resident achievements, and looking toward a future filled with opportunity.

Held at 28 Event Space in Kansas City, the celebration brought together residents, community leaders, elected officials, former leadership, staff, sponsors, and partners who have helped shape HAKC’s journey.

Under the theme ‘Built on Legacy. Designed for Change.’, the evening reflected on eight and a half decades of providing housing, supporting families, and strengthening communities throughout Kansas City.

More than a celebration of the past, the event served as a reminder that HAKC’s greatest achievements are measured not only in homes and developments, but in the lives and futures of the people it serves.
