On Wednesday, May 28, 2014, Suk-Kyung Kim, Assistant Professor in Interior Design at the MSU School of Planning, Design and Construction, will share her academic and research expertise on housing in a presentation of her recently completed research on affordable housing needs and issues in mid-Michigan. Kim’s research examined the communities in Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties. Her work included extensive surveys and interviews with area housing agencies, residents, municipal staff and land use planners. Kim teamed with the Greater Lansing Housing Coalition to provide an accurate diagnosis of current housing and to set practical, achievable goals to improve housing affordability across the region. Supported by the Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability, this study and research is the basis for the development of a regional fair and affordable housing plan now underway. Join the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, to learn more about the study’s recommendations for the future of mid-Michigan housing. This event is free and open to the public, and will take place from 8:30am-11:30am at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center in Room 106, in East Lansing. A light breakfast buffet will be provided. Please RSVP to reception@mitcrpc.org or call 517.393.0342.
