Home buyers in nine Kansas communities are set to become ineligible for all USDA rural housing programs this September. The Kansas communities that will be affected include the cities of Andover, Derby, Gardner, Hays, Junction City, Lansing, Liberal, Ottawa, and Pittsburg. All of these communities have either increased in population above the current USDA program limits of 20,000 (which originated in 1974) or are no longer part of an eligible area because they have been folded into a larger metropolitan statistical area (MSA).
