Flooding in Southeast Kansas

Recovery continues for families affected by the flooding of Southeast Kansas in July of 2007. As seasons change and the holidays near families find that anticipated traditions will no longer be the same.

Financial and emotional struggles continue even months after the initial disaster subsides. Temporary living arrangments may still be in place with permanent housing not yet in site.

The Community Access Center continues to assist individuals and families though these difficult times.
