Petoskey Home Projects Step Toward More Affordable Housing

Northern Homes Community Development Corporation began construction on two homes near downtown Petoskey. The projects received funding from Charlevoix State Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. According to Northern Homes Executive Director Jane Mackenzie, making the homes affordable for local residents is a tricky endeavor. Households earning less than 80% of the area median income with a family of four will be able to purchase the homes. The properties are part of the Northern Homes Community Land Trust program.
