Investing in Housing in Emmet County
Attainable housing continues to be a critical issue we’re dedicated to solving.
Continuing our commitment to housing, the Community Foundation purchased the former Hankey Lumber parcel in Petoskey in May 2022. With the property preserved for workforce housing, the Community Foundation continues to work alongside Haan Development of Harbor Springs and Northern Homes Community Development Corporation to advance the 60-apartment Lofts at Lumber Square development.
Our Strategic Initiatives
Housing
We’re actively working toward affordable and attainable housing solutions in our community.
Child Care
We’re supporting community partners in creating sustainable child care solutions for local families.
Local Food
Our early investments in local food initiatives have helped grow today’s vibrant local food system.
Legacies at Work
Generosity through planned giving helps us build a stronger community.
These charitable-minded folks, while no longer with us, continue to have a major impact through the legacies they started as members of the John S. Clark Legacy Society. Twenty-seven funds with a current asset value of over $14.6 million dollars, are hard at work making a difference in Emmet County.
