MSHDA joined City of Detroit, Develop Detroit, and many other partners to celebrate the grand opening of The Hive on Russell, a new affordable housing development in one of the most vibrant and thriving neighborhoods in the city.

The Hive on Russell brings 78 affordable housing units to the Eastern Market and Lafayette Park area, and was supported by MSHDA through Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.

MSHDA joined the The City Of Ann Arbor - Government Housing Commission, Related Midwest, and many other housing partners to break ground for the Adeline, a new affordable housing development downtown Ann Arbor.

When complete, the Adeline will bring 330 affordable homes to the heart of downtown, among all of the amenities the city has to offer. This development shows how housing connects everything — from where people live, work, and pursue an education to the community where they build their lives.

MSHDA is proud to support this first of it's kind project in Ann Arbor, through Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and other investments that help close funding gaps and push projects from ideas to action.
