Governor Whitmer, State Housing Director Highlight Historic Progress Meeting State Housing Goals
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – On Monday, Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) CEO and Executive Director Amy Hovey joined Governor Gretchen Whitmer to celebrate a major milestone: reaching the governor’s initial five-year housing goal of adding 75,000 new or rehabilitated units more than a year ahead of schedule.
In September 2021 as part of her bold MI New Economy Plan, Gov. Whitmer set a five-year goal of 75,000 housing units. Later, in May 2024, touting the state’s historic progress toward meeting its housing goals, she raised the target by 53%, to 115,000. MSHDA is continuing to track progress toward this goal, compiling monthly Census Bureau reports that track all private-sector residential construction permits.
“Every Michigander deserves a safe, affordable place to call home,” said Gov. Whitmer. “That’s why we’ve made the largest investment in housing in Michigan’s history, three years in a row. I’m proud we have achieved the initial goal we set in 2021 to build 75,000 homes a full year ahead of schedule. Let’s keep working together to build, baby, build and show the world that Michigan is the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”
“At MSHDA we’ve been moving quickly with solutions to help bring down costs for Michigan families,” said Amy Hovey, CEO & Executive Director of MSHDA. “We are celebrating reaching our ambitious five-year goal of adding 75,000 homes, but we can’t do this alone. With hard work and investment from our partners, we’re going to continue to invest in building more homes and bringing down costs for Michigan families.”
Monday’s announcement was made during a ribbon cutting for the first of 16 tiny homes at Hope Village, a project developed by Mel Trotter Ministries and its workforce training subsidiary Next Step of West Michigan. The $2.8-million project in southeast Grand Rapids received a $944,000 MI Neighborhood grant from MSHDA. Each home is being built by Next Step trainees and, once complete, will be reserved for people who have been trained by Next Step or who have been homeless in the past three years.
“We’re grateful for the generosity of our community and the support of the state in bringing this project into reality,” said Chris Palusky, CEO of Mel Trotter Ministries. “As an organization that’s been providing services to the homeless in West Michigan for 125 years, we’re very aware of the limited housing options available. We’re proud to establish Hope Village and open new pathways to a brighter future for individuals needing housing assistance.”
MSHDA has invested historic sums into the production, preservation, and purchase of affordable homes over the last three years. In 2022, $756 million was invested across all MSHDA programs. In 2023, that number reached $1.23 billion, and in 2024, $2.16 billion. All of this has contributed to the state reaching its initial five-year housing goal over a year ahead of schedule.
