CA-26 21-0882 Resolution to Appropriate $1,100,000.00 from the Affordable Housing Millage to Avalon Housing Inc., or an Affiliated Entity for its Project, The Grove at Veridian at 2270 Platt Road, Without Regard to Fiscal Year ($1,100,000) (8 Votes Required)
I strongly support this development. This site has been vacant too long and Veridien will be a welcome addition to the Allen neighborhood (where I live).
This is exactly why we passed the millage. We should support this kind of housing because it is not only affordable but innovative and can serve to encourage other similar projects.
I strongly support the allocation of $1.1 million to support Avalon Housing’s portion of the Veridian development on a formerly County-owned property on Platt Rd. The housing affordability crisis requires a multi-pronged solution to meet the needs of a diverse constituency of neighbors, from our most poor to middle-class families who would like to live in Ann Arbor but cannot afford the housing market. To make forward progress, we need a diversity of approaches. The Veridian development is an ambitious project incorporating sustainability features and market rate homes, but also integrated affordable and supportive housing units built and operated by Avalon. This is an ideal model for for welcoming neighbors.
The communities that Avalon serves with developments like these are the most vulnerable and in need of safe and healthy homes. These are excellent projects to begin using our affordable housing dollars to advance options for those who are most in need in our community.

This project has been in the planning stages for a long time. I hope injecting significant funding will help it move decisively forward.
