Statement

Date: Dec. 15, 2021
Location: Lansing, MI
Issues: Housing and Property

Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) today awarded more than $13 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) which will be used to build new affordable multifamily rental housing or to rehabilitate existing properties, putting Michigan first. This funding round will support the construction or renovation of 14 properties and 690 affordable housing units in rural and urban communities across the state.

"Investments in housing help us put Michiganders first and are critical to furthering our economic momentum," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "When families have a place to call home, it leads to upward mobility, a higher quality of life, and thriving communities. This program helps us lower costs for working families by providing housing stability and opportunity. These awards will help us get a jump on my ambitious MI New Economy plan goal of creating 75,000 new or rehabilitated housing units within the next five years."
