Having homes for our workforce is crucial to the strength of our local economy and our community as a whole. Being able to live and work in Emmet County, however, is becoming increasingly difficult as the number and price of available homes does not meet demand. Throughout our 32 years, the Community Foundation has built a proud history of connecting people, organizations, resources, and ideas. As we’ve grown and developed, we find ourselves uniquely positioned to be a catalyst for positive solutions in our community. When confronting the housing shortage in Emmet County, we had to ask ourselves, “If not us, then who?” This question served as a powerful impetus for action when the opportunity arose to bring 60 new apartments to downtown Petoskey via the Lofts at Lumber Square. In November 2023, we hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking for the Lofts at Lumber Square alongside our project partners, including Haan Development, Northern Homes Community Development Corporation, and a host of state agencies, funders, and donors. Construction has since begun, with new apartments expected to be available in 2025. The Lofts project is just one example of the way the Community Foundation is working with generous donors, non-profits, and businesses to create meaningful solutions to the challenges facing our communities.
