The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law Alumni Magazine, Res Ipsa, is focusing its most recent issue on UMKC alumni who work to develop housing and community spaces for those in need. Res Ipsa is Latin for “It Speaks for Itself.

The year 2017 ended with great news! The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines awarded additional funding to three tribal developments through the Affordable Housing Program (AHP).

Sarah A. and her family have lived in a home in the Karuk Homes #1 development for about 15 months.

Just before the holidays, we received outstanding news! The Utah Housing Corporation (UHC) awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs) to the Utah Paiute Tribal Housing Authority

Last week, a few Travoisians escaped cold, rainy Kansas City for sunny Camp Verde, AZ, to attend the grand opening of the Yavapai-Apache Homes #5 community building.

After seeing how much work and time is spent during the development and design process, it is amazing to see finished homes in person and meet the families who live in them.

Every year during the holiday season, our team here at Travois participates in an adopt-a-family program and purchases a family’s entire wish list of Christmas gifts.
As Travois has grown as a company over the years, so has our gift-giving spirit.

There is a growing movement among philanthropic leaders and fund managers that investments can and should be deployed for community and environmental good.
