Re: Michigan Housing Forward Act

To Whom it May Concern,

        Abundant Housing Michigan (AHM) is proud to endorse the Michigan Housing
Forward Act, introduced by State Rep. Kristian Grant, State Rep. Cynthia Neeley, and other
legislative leaders. AHM is a coalition of community members, organizations, advocacy groups,
and passionate Michiganders from across the state that knows that we cannot solve our housing
crisis without decisive state action to allow more housing to get built. We advocate for laws and
regulations that make it easier to build homes across the state. We work with allies and partners
to ensure Michigan’s future is one of abundant housing, robust communities, and sustainable
growth for every person who wants to belong here.

        The Michigan Housing Forward Act represents a strong step in the right direction,
allowing duplexes to be built across Michigan, reducing unnecessary, onerous, and costly
parking requirements that prevent needed new homes from being built, and simplifies site plan
review processes in our state. As we have seen across the nation, the only way to address these
issues in a comprehensive manner is with state-level action like this bill package.
        We applaud House members for this effort and hope to see further action to address the
barriers to new homes that is so common in our state.


Sincerely,


Abundant Housing Michigan
