Records of the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing, 1992-2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/692371802

The largest series to be found in the State Archives from the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing relates to Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). These grants cover a variety of projects designed to help the economic development of a small community and are funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and any predecessor federal agencies. Other records under this agency reflect its commitment to develop the Kansas economy through research, the agency's desire to help Kansas students transition smoothly to careers after leaving school, other types of grants (such as for low-income housing), the employment of non-U.S. citizens in certain highly technical professions, and the working papers or subject files of the main office. The records show the interaction of this department with other departments and projects undertaken by the state of Kansas, such as Kansas, Inc., the Kansas Film Commission, the Department of Human Resources, the Department of Education, and the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation (KTEC).
