KCHBA’s Foundation Supports Six Non-Profits This Spring

n 2002, the Home Builders Charitable Foundation was formed as the charitable arm of the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City (KCHBA). The fund is dedicated to supporting the Kansas City community in three main areas:

ity housing and promote neighborhood revitalization. In 2022, CHWC plans to begin construction on 24 new homes, rehabilitate three existing homes, and repair seven homes. Determination Inc.: 16 formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs are currently participating in its year-long Rise Up, Get Started Matching Grant program. They receive biweekly educational workshops, coaching and mentoring, a community of peer support, help writing a business plan and budget, connections with resources & customers, and a $750 grant (on top of $300 they save). In this year’s program they are specifically focused on entrepreneurs with service-based businesses. This year’s cohort includes general contractors, an electrician, handymen and construction cleaners.

• Increasing career opportunities in the skilled trades by supporting educational programs and job training resources related to the construction industry • Support the revitalization of Kansas City area communities • Charitable causes, such as human services like transitional and supportive services and housing In 2021, the Home Builders Charitable Foundation contributed more than $60,000 to various community partners in the Kansas City area to support education, housing redevelopment and other much-needed services. This spring, the Foundation has chosen to donate $2,500 to each of the following organizations:

Friends of Johnson County Development Services: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities continue to struggle to find affordable and accessible housing in Johnson County, Kan. This grant will assist with renovating a home in Gardner, Kan., for four gentlemen who are currently living in a house that is not accessible enough to meet their needs.

Community Housing of Wyandotte County: CHWC builds and rehabs high-quality homes, creates alternative paths to homeownership for low- and moderate-income families, and provides home repair and improvement services to meet the need for high-qual-

Continued on page 5

Hope House: Following a Housing First model, Hope House prioritizes a domestic violence survivor’s immediate need for safe and secure housing to create long-lasting sustainable change. The primary goal of the Housing First model is ending a person’s homelessness and serving as the basis from which they can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life. This approach is guided by evidence that survivors need basic necessities like food and a place to live before attending to other needs, such as getting a job.

because of high rental rates. Violent crime, suicide and teen birth rates are all higher than state average and substance use is on the rise. All these factors contribute to youth homelessness. This grant will help runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22 by providing services that help them successfully transition into self-sufficient adulthood.

Rebuilding Together Kansas City: RTKC is working to address the growing number of homeowners living in poverty and struggling with inflation. This grant will go directly to eliminate substandard living conditions of their clients who are struggling with poverty-level income.

In his thank you letter to the Home Builders Charitable Foundation, JCCC student and scholarship recipient Grant Kimerer wrote, “This scholarship will help me focus more on my school, ease up my schedule so that I’m fully immersed in my classes, construction organizations and my leadership role in my school’s Construction Program.”

This spring, the Foundation also provided funds for scholarships to students interested in careers in residential construction at Pittsburgh State University and Johnson County Community College.

Seven $1,000 career-ready scholarships are being given to high school seniors from Kearney, Oak Park, Staley, Liberty and Shawnee Mission West. Five out of the seven students are interested in becoming electricians. Four of these five recipients have graduated from the Construction Science Program at the Northland Career Center and the Electrical Program at Excelsior Springs Area Career Center.

Loan approval is subject to credit approval and program guidelines. Not all loan programs are available in all states for all loan amounts.

Students that are awarded the career-ready scholarship are accompanied by a representative from the student’s educational institution and a KCHBA Workforce Development Committee member to a retail center to secure their tools/supplies for their new career. The tools and supply list will be based on the applicant’s chosen field and the applicant is awarded the scholarship once proof of employment is provided. If students have applied and have yet to secure a position with an employer, the Workforce Development Committee assists the students with career placement. Two $1,000 scholastic scholarships are being given to students from Oak Park and Blue Valley Southwest. One student is planning to attend Kansas State University and the other will be attending Dordt University (Iowa). Both are planning to major in engineering. Scholarship checks are sent directly to the designated school after verification of enrollment. KCHBA actively promotes employment opportunities for young people interested in construction trades and supports students pursuing a career in the residential construction industry.

Permit Report: More Than Just Who’s Building Where

“T

he permit report isn’t just a list of who’s building where, it’s a business intelligence report,” Ryan Christopher of SVB Wood Floors told attendees to last month’s Associate Council education event “How to Build Your Business with the Permit Report.”

provided information on the different types of reports people can receive and how they use the reports to build and sustain their businesses. “Does anyone know how much permits are down this year?” Christopher asked. “It’s 12% and 19% between February and March. I know this from the permit report.” Christopher explained that with this knowledge he can better forecast and plan for the future so his business can be proactive and not reactive to market changes.

The KCHBA gathers this highly relevant data thanks to a unique relationship with the permit departments in the eight counties and 70 cities that comprise the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area. Every month the KCHBA provides this valuable information in a variety of reports that are available exclusively to members of the KCHBA by subscription.

“It’s good for knowing where your current customers are building to make sure they’re not shopping you out,” said Kirtley.

What’s New in 2022:

Interior Design and Architecture

o matter where you are in the United States, finding a connection to the outdoors within the design of your home has arguably never been more popular. Home design and architecture continues to be influenced by the renewal and look of nature. Natural light and ways to find more of it is top design priority. The color green and other jewel tones are being welcomed in unique places within the home. Allison Paul is an architect with Lessard Design in the Washington, D.C. area. She is licensed in 21 states and has over 20 years of industry experience. Doris Pearlman is the president and founder of Possibilities for Design, based in Denver, Colo., and designs for projects all over the country. They spoke with NAHB to give their input on what to expect in 2022.

Color Forecast and Material Trends

Biophilia is deﬁned as “a love of living things.” Biophilic design is the practice of incorporating nature into the built environment. Pearlman believes biophilia is the primary driver behind design trends at the moment. With many plant shops reporting record sales in 2020 and Sherwin Williams naming Evergreen Fog its 2022 color of the year, greenery has been “having a moment.” Popular alongside green are plums and pinks. Very Peri is Pantone’s color of the year, a violet hue with a strong presence and joyous feel to it. Shades of teals and aquas have popped up as well. Pearlman presents “sand” as a contender for the “new grey”, a neutral shade with more brown undertones. “Sunset” and “caramel” colors are also popular to pair with. Shades of black will likely always be a part of the design conversation. Black is still popular in many elements and materials, especially within contemporary farmhouse or used monochromatically.

Oak, copper and mixed metals are more popular than ever. Images courtesy of Possibilities for Design.

Pearlman emphasized color is also about texture, so it’s important to note and visualize how wood tones and placement will impact the room as a whole. Mixed metals continue to be a fun, unexpected design touch. Elements with natural antimicrobial properties, such as quartz, copper, oak wood and non-woven textiles, are also being incorporated into more spaces. Circles have been known to lift people’s mood and they continue to be seen in mirrors and lighting fixtures. Lighting and statement fixtures continue to be high priority. Fixtures with multiples lights and string bulbs are popular. Black and gold continue to trend. Tile has been stealing the spotlight for a while and Pearlman and Paul don’t see that changing soon. Using tiles with creative patterns, or using the tiles themselves to create patterns, is now common practice. Terrazzo is increasing in popularity. The classic subway tile isn’t going away, but oversized tiles or unique layout patterns is a common enhancement. Large vein marbles and quartz are popular tile options, along with inlaid metal details. When it comes to flooring, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is outselling wood, tile and carpet, according to Pearlman. Homeowners are also looking for different ways to enhance their hardwood floors. One technique becoming more common is the Japanese method of shou sugi ban. Shou sugi ban can emphasize the bold knots in flooring by adding contrast or provide a unique shade and texture of dark wood.

Left, middle: Greenery, shades of purple and mixed metals on display at the 2022 NAHB International Builders’ Show. Kitchen by Café and tub by Kohler. Right: Diﬀerent types of shou sugi ban wood.

The “Fifth Plane”

There is more thoughtfulness being put behind ways to connect a residential ceiling between indoor and outdoor living. “Vaulted kitchens bring in warmer tones of wood and natural colors,” said Paul. Trends also point to skylights and coffered ceiling being reimagined in the home. Paul points to the coffered ceiling “to create a different sense of space and warmth” in the room. Light and the way it is used is another way to enhance production homes. Using the ceiling to transition from indoor and outdoor living is another great use of the fifth wall. A seamless transition appears between the two spaces when using the same materials inside and out. Transom windows and stained beams are looking to increase in popularity. According to Paul, designs that “break the boundaries of what was traditional” while also bringing in more natural light are becoming preferred. People are taking note of their sensitivity to light and how it impacts their mood. Vaulted and beamed ceilings in unexpected rooms, updated coffer ceilings and skylights bring new life to a space. Images courtesy of Lessard Design.

The Great Outdoors

While design has been looking to bring the outdoors in, there is also a new emphasis on “outdoor rooms.” With an emphasis on calm, Pearlman believes homeowners are seeking to make more transitional spaces that oﬀer “just a little bit of serenity.” Although Midwest weather is unpredictable, there are still many options to explore in Kansas City. Rooftop outdoor spaces are becoming more popular, both for multifamily and single residences. Firepits and outdoor heaters continue to be a staple all over the country, extending the time homeowners can utilize their outdoor living. Sunken outdoor “living rooms” and outdoor chandeliers help create a more deﬁned outdoor gathering space.

One of Paul’s favorite trends is the renewed emphasis on the relationship between the built environment and the natural landscape. “The hardscape of the outside bleeds into the inside of your home, while the ceiling materials of the wood and those warmer tones bleed indoor to outdoor,” said Paul.

The industry is also seeing a decline in sales, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau, which estimate sales of newly built, single-family homes in April fell to a 591,000 seasonally adjusted annual pace, a 16.6% decline from the March reading. The April reading is the lowest since April 2020. Meanwhile, the median sales price for new home sales in April increased to $450,600, a 19.7% year-over-year gain, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Prices have increased as building material and other development costs have climbed. In another indicator that deteriorating affordability conditions are particularly hurting the entry-level market, a year ago, 25% of new home sales were priced below $300,000, while in April this share fell to just 10%, according to the Census Bureau.
