Whitmer Calls $100 Million Rescue Funds for Housing
Governor Gretchen Whitmer proposed spending $100 million in federal COVID-19 rescue funds to expand affordable housing through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. The plan aims to leverage $380 million in private capital, assist about 6,000 families, and create or rehabilitate 2,000 rental units with potential rebates and financing for developers. The proposal, part of $6.5 billion in discretionary aid, requires Republican Legislature approval and targets workforce housing and transitions from low to middle income.
