The East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation (ECKAN), a community action agency, has been in existence since 1966 serving low-income persons in Anderson, Coffey, Douglas, Franklin, Johnson, Lyon, Miami, Morris and Osage Counties.

The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program offers rental assistance to low-income families, enabling them to obtain affordable, quality housing with private landlords. ECKAN's HCV and Section 8 Program was recently awarded as a High Performance Organization based on the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). SEMAP enables HUD to better manage the Section 8 tenant-based program by identifying Public Housing Agency’s (PHA) capabilities and deficiencies related to the administration of the Section 8 program.

The program is available in Anderson, Coffey, Franklin, Lyon, Miami and Osage Counties.

ECKAN's mission is to identify and focus available resources that enable eligible families and individuals to attain critical skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
