Members of our national team recently gathered in Grand Rapids, MI for quarterly planning meetings! They also visited Family Promise of West Michigan and toured one of their manufactured housing parks. 🏡 "With so many members of our national team spread across the country, it was great to gather in person for strategy conversations! It was also wonderful touring Family Promise of West Michigan's manufactured housing park. It's a prime example of the innovative housing solutions being used by Family Promise sites around the country." ~Mike Kerkorian, CFRE

Sharing the stories of #KentCounty residents and their experiences throughout the housing continuum is crucial to the evolution of the housing system in Kent County. Eroding housing affordability has caused a spike in #homelessness across Kent County. A recording-setting 1,239 individuals were confirmed homeless during the 2023 Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count. The PIT Count takes place every year on a single night in January. The PIT Count has increased by 35% in the last two years alone. Take a look at the data: https://lnkd.in/gGkuHD2h #KentCountyHousing

#NationalHomeownershipMonth is our reminder to recognize homeownership equity within our community. According to our recent data dashboard numbers, the entry-level home costs $205,707 which requires an income of $62,000, while the median annual wage is $42,740. It is clear that affordable housing disparities persist and we must come together to systemically alter the course of housing history in #KentCounty. This month, we celebrate the lived experiences of individuals across the housing continuum, first-time homeowners, minority homeowners, and everyone in between. Join us in our mission to raise awareness around these inequities by expanding your knowledge on #homeownershipaffordability for all: https://lnkd.in/gyfth68j
