A passion for finding housing solutions

Leland resident Jon Stimson calls Leelanau County home, and part of what drives him in his job as executive director at HomeStretch, a local community housing development organization, is to give others the opportunity to call the region home, too.

Another reason Stimson is devoted to the affordable housing industry is his passion for creating structures not only through buildings, but through the lasting spaces they provide.

“I have always been drawn to shaping the built environment, and that work has become even more meaningful as I have seen the positive impact affordable housing can have on people’s lives,” Stimson said. “It is rewarding to know that my work can help create stronger communities and leave the world a little better than I found it.”
