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.
