Housing
| "Housing planning should address the need for an adequate supply of decent and affordable housing." Proximity of housing to school and work is important as well as providing a diversity of housing types. |
Fair Share housing requires that every community, as part of the greater county, supplies its own fair share of affordable housing in relation to the total need of the greater area. Inclusionary zoning is one way to enable a community to add affordable housing to their neighborhoods. Read a case study from Livingston County.
Accessory housing, or self-contained units that share the same lot as a single family home, allows for a greater mix of housing types in the community. Read a case study from Bath Charter Township.
