Having stable housing is so much more than just having an address. It can be a safe space and refuge from your day. It can be a place for you to form friendships with your neighbors and strong connections to your community.

The Local Planning Bodies (with the Balance of State Continuum of Care) are working to ensure that more people, organizations, landlords, and leaders are collaborating on solutions to housing challenges.  But they need more support.

In our conversations with people all over Southwest Michigan, we learned that what people aspire to most for their communities is cohesiveness and connection. Everyone wants the same things – a safe place to stay and food on the table. Affordable, stable housing is a critical part of achieving this vision. 

Tell your legislators that you support the work of our Local Planning Bodies, and they should support them too.
