PROGRAMS
KC 360

Lansing Correctional Facility
Promoting successful reentry for more than 300 formerly incarcerated individuals each year with the Kansas Department of Corrections and Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.

In Collaboration with the Kauffman Foundation’s Real World Learning Initiative, this program pairs Kansas City youth with local employers for paid summer internships.
Good Samaritan Home Equity

KC Common Good Fund
Providing financial aid for families struggling with funeral expenses for a loved one who was killed by violence in our community.
2020, 2021, and 2022 were the three most deadly years in Kansas City history. Every single one of these people has loved ones—parents, siblings, children, spouses, friends—whose lives are changed forever because of our violence epidemic. We cannot become numb to our violence problem or shrug our shoulders like this is too big of a problem to solve. Curbing violent crime requires more than just law enforcement-related solutions—and we all have a role to play. I’m proud to collaborate with KC Common Good in our shared mission to create a safer community for all through hope and opportunity.
Mayor Quinton Lucas, Kansas City
