Have you thought about what you would do if your home or apartment was damaged by something like a fire or tornado? Your landlord's insurance only covers repairs to the building. None of your personal belongings are covered. Without renter’s insurance, you may be left to replace all of these items out-of-pocket.
In August 2022, the Community Foundation of Central Kansas made grant funding available for projects that support community preparedness and resilience, especially in under-served areas. With the tornado experience in mind, a group comprised of representatives from the City of Andover, Butler County Emergency Management, the Butler County Health Department, and South Central Mental Health pursued and received funding for a renter's insurance awareness campaign.
As part of the 2023 Renter's Insurance Awareness Campaign, a limited number of one-time grants are currently available to assist uninsured renters in Butler County with purchasing their first renter's insurance policy.
