The Statewide Housing Partnership was created by Gov. Whitmer's Executive Order No. 2022-10 within the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). The partnership will develop a strategy to implement Michigan’s Statewide Housing Plan and ensure that every Michigander has access to affordable housing that meets their needs. Additionally, Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist joined the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in Lansing to announce Michigan Strategic Fund approval of $83.8 million in grant funding across 22 statewide affordable housing and community development projects around Michigan through the Revitalization and Placemaking Program.
The Council will dissolve on September 6, 2024, or such other time as the governor directs.
