Affordable homeownership will soon be easier to come by in East Lansing as the
Hometown Housing Partnership begins a new project on Wolf Court. The groundbreaking for the new home took place last week, and marks the second of three homes that will eventually be constructed on the property.
The project began in late 2008 with the HHP was working with the
Ingham County Land Bank to develop a nearby property. The developments are a part of HHP’s ongoing initiative to reinvest dollars in a target community neighborhood.
“We saw the opportunity to purchase this land and began making plans,” says Michelle Reardon, executive director of the HHP. “The land was purchased in January 2009.”
The 1,400-square foot home now being constructed will include three bedrooms, two bathrooms and will be 5-Star Plus Energy Rated. The home is available to purchase now and HHP expects it to be available for occupation in approximately 90 days. The purchase of this new home is income-qualified.
Once the home now being constructed is sold, work on the third property, which will be located next door, will begin.
