Housing Needs Assessment
This engagement has been completed. If you would like to connect about the Housing Needs Assessment please contact Jake Eckholm at jake.eckholm@shorelinecity.com
The City of Muskegon has partnered with a renowned housing research firm, Bowen National Research, to conduct a Five-Year Housing Needs Assessment of the housing market in our community. The results show that there is a serious shortage of both for-sale and rental housing units at all price points across our city, and so we will be taking a tour hosting public engagement sessions to inform residents of the study results. We will also actively work to gain feedback on what types of housing neighbors want to see, what they desire for themselves, and how the current housing market has impacted them. This will take place throughout the summer to assist as city staff make housing policy recommendations to your elected City Commission. Please consider attending one of the engagement sessions and making your voice heard! Thank you!
