Volunteers seek affordable housing in Ottawa County
A team of volunteers from Good Samaritan Ministries and Hope College students conducted a landlord count across Ottawa County on March 22 to identify affordable units. The effort, tied to the annual point in time homeless count by Ottawa County United Way, aims to connect voucher holders with available rentals and guide families toward stable housing. Data gathered will be analyzed in weeks and used to direct housing seekers to known affordable units.
