Housing in Washtenaw County is becoming increasingly unaffordable for both owners and renters.There is a tremendous need for more affordable options within the City of Ann Arbor to help house the city’s growing workforce, ease congestion, and ensure the diversity, vitality, and social equity of the Ann Arbor community. The student team that produced this report anticipate that the recommendations will serve as a communication tool. The report includes resources for the Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED), and other affordable housing partners in Ann Arbor, to help launch a public education campaign around affordable housing.
