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/news/local/crime/article315757884.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/35eb3fce-591a-433d-82d2-204c6c1e4164/1_th.jpg ‘Move over’: Driver nearly hits 2 Liberty officers Liberty police are reminding motorists to move over and slow down as they approach emergency vehicles with flashing lights after a passing driver nearly struck two officers and another person during a traffic stop. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article315757884.html/video-embed 51 2026-05-14T18:02:15Z no https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article315753697.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/cc5798da-adf2-4963-ad46-70f215024154/1_th.jpg Fired dean at Kansas City private school says optics drove removal after protest David Mohammad was dean of student affairs at Barstow School in Kansas City until he helped students organize a protest against immigration enforcement in the U.S. Three days later, he was fired. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article315753697.html/video-embed 79 2026-05-14T15:51:41Z no https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article315731148.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/ffaf1080-8190-481c-9839-730aa16a8b2b/1_th.jpg Over protests, AI data center breaks ground in Independence Nebius, a Dutch AI company, starts construction on its $150 billion data center May 12 in Independence. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article315731148.html/video-embed 116 2026-05-13T14:31:57Z no https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315731145.html https://img.thecontentserver.com/c1f88128-6f55-468d-b72a-3972e805976f/2_th.jpg UMKC men's hoops coach Turgeon discusses KC Roos' move to Municipal UMKC men's hoops coach Mark Turgeon discusses the KC Roos' move to Municipal Auditorium for basketball starting in the 2026-27 season. https://www.kansascity.com/video/article315731145.html/video-embed 151 2026-05-12T21:45:39Z no
