Affordable Housing Partnership
The LISC Affordable Housing Partnership (AHP) is a collaboration of nonprofit, business, governmental, education, health, human service, advocacy entities, and constituent groups. The AHP was formed to develop a comprehensive and integrated approach to addressing homelessness and building permanent housing for low-income people.
The current initiative of the AHP is the Kalamazoo County Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness. The strategies of this plan include:
Prevention - Taking a proactive approach to keeping people housed; educating the community; advocating on related issues
Rapid Re-Housing - Getting homeless people into permanent housing as quickly as possible; creating new, affordable housing options
System Change - Ensuring people have access to supportive services to maintain housing stability; improving system effectiveness
Building Community Capacity - Coordinating local, state, and national resources in the community; improving agency capacity to serve; tracking progress
