To ensure all residents have access to affordable housing across Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive directive establishing the Statewide Housing Partnership. Housed within the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), the partnership will develop a strategy to implement Michigan’s Statewide Housing Plan, which seeks to build more affordable housing, lowers costs, and addresses economic, racial, and geographic inequities.

Governor Whitmer established the partnership as an advisory board and will include leaders from state, local, and tribal governments, advocates from nonprofit and community organizations, and representatives from the business and finance industries. The partnership’s primary responsibility is to develop a strategy to implement the Michigan Statewide Housing Plan and make recommendations to MSHDA on how best to achieve its goals.
