After six years of living on the streets, near Independence Avenue and The Paseo in Northeast Kansas City, and two years trying to get sober, her new home has given her the opportunity to breathe for once. Eden Village, a tiny home community in KCK, was designed to bring stability to people like her, who have experienced chronic homelessness. Soon, more people will have access to a similar community in Midtown KCK. Rent, including utilities, will be $400 for those who qualify to live there. Officials behind the project hope this new development will serve as yet another way that people can pitch in to address a large affordable housing shortage and prevalent homelessness in KCK, a city that has lacked a year-round homeless shelter despite officials’ plans to build one. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/wyandotte-county/article315746791.html/video-embed 49 2026-05-13T23:28:24Z no https://www.kansascity.com/sports/mlb/kansas-city-royals/article315746772.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/22a405b7-431f-42da-bded-a9119805d5c9/1_th.jpg Royals manager Matt Quatraro praises Salvador Perez's drive Kansas City Royals manager Matt Quatraro talks about catcher Salvador Perez's desire to play daily before KC's game against the White Sox at Rate Field in Chicago on May 13, 2026. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/mlb/kansas-city-royals/article315746772.html/video-embed 16 2026-05-13T23:18:22Z no https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315716591.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/a0604245-de45-4ecd-8afa-d23cd5ccca00/1_th.jpg Arrowhead ahead of transformation to Kansas City Stadium Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup beginning next month in KC, Arrowhead will be transforming into Kansas City stadium. https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315716591.html/video-embed 23 2026-05-11T21:29:19Z no https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/david-hudnall/article315715068.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/af83386e-2e67-4a47-91cc-4d19cd0702aa/1_th.jpg How Kansas City's expectations for World Cup are changing Star columnist David Hudnall explains what's going on with visitor and hotel projections for the World Cup, what local leaders are saying and what it might mean for the event with global expectations. https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/david-hudnall/article315715068.html/video-embed 127 2026-05-11T20:18:52Z no
