In 2021, Governor Gretchen Whitmer set a statewide goal of building or rehabilitating 75,000 homes in five years—by September 2026.
Because of our hard work, we expect to reach that target in May 2025. So we raised the bar.
We've increased our five-year statewide housing target to 115,000 units—a 53% increase. MSHDA will continue tracking progress toward this goal.
By building more housing, we can expand supply and lower costs; make our big cities and small towns better places to live, work, and invest; and we can attract and retain the talent we need to grow Michigan’s economy.

(NOTE: Residential buildings are buildings containing one or more housing units. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other individuals in the building, and which have a direct access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. Exclusions to the counts include group quarters (e.g., dormitories, jails, nursing homes), other structures on residential property (e.g., sheds, garages), residential additions and alterations, and maintenance and repair.
A downward adjuster of 5% has been applied to the counts to reflect that, on average, approximately 5% of residential buildings that are permitted, aren’t finished.
