In 2021, Governor Gretchen Whitmer set a bold statewide goal: build or rehabilitate 75,000 homes in five years.
Thanks to strong statewide collaboration, Michigan reached that goal ahead of schedule. In 2024, the governor announced an updated five-year target of 115,000 homes by end of fiscal year 2026.
This page tracks progress toward that goal using building permit data, a key indicator of housing production.
By building more housing, Michigan can expand supply and help lower costs, strengthen communities in every region, and attract and retain the talent needed to grow our economy.
(NOTE: Residential buildings are buildings containing one or more housing units. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other individuals in the building, and which have a direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. Exclusions to the counts include group quarters (e.g., dormitories, jails, nursing homes), other structures on residential property (e.g., sheds, garages), residential additions and alterations, and maintenance and repair.
A downward adjuster of 5% has been applied to the counts to reflect that, on average, approximately 5% of residential buildings that are permitted, aren’t finished.
