The Governor’s office announced a new round of affordable housing investments, backing 10 projects, nearly half in West Michigan

The state is awarding more than $14 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to the projects, which will create or preserve at least 484 affordable rental homes.

In Muskegon, phase three of Allen Crossing is receiving over $1.2 million toward the completion of 42 one- and two-bedroom units for households earning between 30% and 80% of Area Median Income.

Also in Muskegon, Froebel Place is a new affordable housing development that is receiving over $1.2 million for the completion of 52 two- and three-bedroom units for households earning 30% to 80% of AMI.

In Grand Rapids, Alpine Senior Apartments is receiving just over $1.4 million toward the completion of 52 one- and two-bedroom units for households earning 30% to 70% of AMI.
