About the Michigan Housing Council

 

The Michigan Housing Council (MHC) is one of the oldest statewide associations of affordable housing professionals in the United States. The MHC is comprised of owners, developers, managers, general contractors and subcontractors, architects, engineers, attorneys, financial groups, insurers, accountants, market analysts, tax credit syndicators, and other consultants, non-profits and businesses involved with Michigan’s affordable housing industry.

Founded in 1989, the MHC is a non-profit organization dedicated to the financing, construction, management, and rehabilitation of affordable housing in Michigan. To that end, members and consultants from Muchmore Harrington Smalley & Associates work closely with the Michigan State Legislature, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, and the Granholm Administration to develop sound public policies on issues of importance to the affordable housing industry.

Recent issues the MHC has been active in include the following:

 ü    Management Fee Adjustments – with MSHDA
 ü    Withholding Tax Rules Changes – with MSHDA and Treasury
 ü Qualified Allocation Plan Qualifications and Process – with MSHDA
 ü Insurance Coverage Guideline – with MHSDA
