Good morning, Olathe.

Johnson County and Metro Lutheran Ministries unveiled four new affordable rental units today (the first phase of a 16-unit project) to help address homelessness; the units are funded by a Home ARP grant originally set aside for a permanent shelter.

The Olathe board said it will keep its graduation memorial policy despite a petition of more than 6,100 signatures and Amber Hartsook’s plea to read her late son’s name at the May 16 ceremony – the board said it aims to balance remembrance and celebration.

Johnson County announced bus services supporting FIFA World Cup 2026 that will run from June 9 to July 13; routes connect cities like Olathe, Overland Park, Lenexa, and Shawnee, with fares from $5 day passes to $50 tournament passes (schedules vary by service type).

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is monitoring three people who were exposed internationally to Andes hantavirus after contact with a cruise passenger.

The individuals show no symptoms and no hantavirus cases have been reported in Kansas.
