West Michigan needs to
add 50,378 additional homes
by 2030 to meet demand.
Housing is foundational. A thriving housing market underpins vibrant, economically resilient communities where families and businesses can grow together.
Unaddressed housing challenges can have a major impact on the region including:
Economic Stability
-
Limits workforce growth, drives up costs and stalls regional competitiveness.
Community Health & Vibrancy
-
Weakens economic opportunity, upward mobility and hurts local businesses.
Social & Public Services Strain
-
Increases the risk of homelessness and stresses schools and transportation.
To move West Michigan forward, we must integrate all of the elements of responsible community development. Housing Next works across sector to identify and implement strategies that remove barriers to the development of housing at all price points.
Local Government
We collaborate with local
governments on ways to make
housing developments more
financially feasible.
Non Profits
We partner with nonprofits and housing advocates to support
the creation and effective management of more housing
in the future.
