One of the many consequences of the opioid crisis is the growing need for recovery housing in Michigan. Problem-Solving Courts and behavioral health programs can set people up to avoid relapse and recidivism, but a lack of long-term, stable housing can push them into a high-risk environment. Now, EGLE, the city of Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, and Edison Community Partners are working to build new, affordable recovery housing at the site of a former paper mill.
EGLE is awarding a $1 million grant to the William Schma House brownfield redevelopment project. The $19 million project will turn vacant property at 1900 Belford Street in the city of Kalamazoo into three new buildings with a total of 48 apartments plus space for support services like coaching and counseling.
