The Vecino Group

Residents, partners, and community leaders gathered yesterday to celebrate the grand opening of Bodhi Kansas City—45 new affordable and supportive homes designed to bring comfort, stability, and opportunity to the community.

As resident Geno shared, “Living here, I’ve just been blessed and I’m so grateful.”

Bodhi KC transformed an unused site into a vibrant community centered on connection, wellness, and support for fellow Kansas Citians.

Missouri State Representative Kimberly-Ann Collins put it best - “These vacant lots have memories. To see public-private partners, community partners, and residents come together to make this happen is truly a dream come true.”

On Tuesday partners broke ground on Alumnus West, a 52-unit permanent supportive housing development for The Ville in St Louis. It’s the second collaboration between the Nash Group (Troy Nash), Vecino Group, and Care STL Health—the same team behind Alumnus Gardens (currently under repair from the St Louis tornado earlier this year).

We are SO very excited for Springfield’s newest community art piece “Hitchhikers” to be on Vecino’s very own The U in downtown! Immense thanks to Meg Wagler and Overlay for being tenacious, fantastic champions of art & community and all-around great partners. Major props to artists Emily Ding and Osiris Rain for delivering an inspiring piece that celebrates the Ozarks, our community, and of course Historic Route 66 - which will celebrate its 100th Anniversary next year right next to our building! Check it out!
