Muskegon County is experiencing a housing shortage across all price points, necessitating thousands of additional homes and rental units to meet demand and stabilize the market. A partnership with the Community Foundation for Muskegon County aims to tackle housing growth barriers by establishing a Muskegon County Housing Coordinator. This role focuses on reviewing zoning policies, identifying development sites, and connecting municipalities with developers and funding opportunities.
While the Housing Coordinator can direct residents to housing-related resources, they do not provide case management or direct housing assistance. By collaborating with local governments and organizations, Muskegon County aims to enhance housing development, expand options, and promote more affordable housing.
