It’s the latest effort to provide affordable housing, and this time the effort is focused on Benzie County. Construction crews are getting to work on the latest affordable housing project, and this one is being developed – and built – by a nonprofit group.
The affordable housing crisis is nothing new. In fact it’s why HomeStretch was created as a nonprofit housing corporation more than 20 years ago. Now comes the latest effort to supply affordable housing – this time in the Village of Honor. HomeStretch Executive Director Jon Stimson says, “We’re installing eight apartments. Two stories, two bedroom townhouse-style apartments. And we can house up to 36 people maximum.”
