Topeka relocation incentive program

Overview

The city of Topeka, Kansas, has launched the ‘Choose Topeka’ program to attract skilled professionals and new residents to Shawnee County. Managed by the Greater Topeka Partnership and GO Topeka, the initiative aims to strengthen the local economy by addressing trends where a significant portion of the workforce resides outside the county.

Through partnerships with over 50 participating companies, the program offers financial assistance to help offset relocation and housing costs. Qualified applicants can receive up to $15,000 for the purchase of a primary residence or property renovations, or up to $10,000 for a one-year rental agreement.

To be eligible, candidates must secure full-time employment at a participating company within Shawnee County with a minimum annual salary of $50,000. These funds are described as part of a shared agreement with hiring employers rather than automatic government subsidies, specifically targeting specialized or hard-to-fill positions.
