Construction is completed on the Vineyard View Apartments, an affordable housing complex on Marek Road in Suttons Bay off M-204. HomeStretch Housing, the nonprofit corporation behind the project, told the newspaper that they expect all eight units to be occupied between Christmas and New Years.
This will provide some much-needed housing to the less well-off residents of Leelanau County, the state’s wealthiest county according to a SmartAsset analysis covered by MLive earlier this year. People like Grace Soave, a single mother of four children, who leased one of the units on Monday.
“I’ve moved six times in the last four years – housing has always been temporary,” Soave said. “I’ve been trying to find something affordable for my kids and me. I filled out the application and got one of the units. I’m doing the final paperwork and signing the lease tonight.”
