What is HousingDrives What is HousingDrives ? HousingDrives is a housing assessment of urban, rural, and suburban communities throughout our region. The project’s goal is to identify the diverse housing needs of current and future Greater Lansing residents and learn what the region can do to address those challenges and opportunities to ultimately create housing that is attainable for all walks of life. We have heard from our community – residents, businesses, community leaders, and more – that our region does not have the attainable housing that existing and potential residents desire. Yet, we do not know what these specific needs are. The intent of this study is to define those diverse needs and identify what local communities, private and nonprofit organizations, and other leaders can do to address them. Specifically, the study will: Provide a data-driven assessment of the housing market, housing stock, and housing needs of communities throughout Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties in detail; Quantify housing needs/demand across various price points and types; Engage the community in dialogue about their housing experiences, policy options, and their priorities for the future; and, Create a strategy, with specific policies that address the region’s housing needs.

While this study was under development , the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) published Michigan’s first Statewide Housing Plan and established the Michigan Statewide Housing Partnership, which called for the creation of regional housing consortiums. MSHDA has since identified 15 Regional Housing Partnerships (RHPs) tasked with developing action plans tailored to each region that support implementation of the plan. Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (Tri-County), in partnership with the Capital Area Housing Partnership (CAHP), will lead the facilitation of this RHP effort for the tri-county region, serving Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. This RHP will bring stakeholders from across the region together to develop a five-year housing action plan that addresses local and regional housing needs, builds on the region’s existing networks and housing ecosystem, and aligns with the priorities, goals, and strategies identified in both the Statewide Housing Plan and HousingDrives assessment.

When we plan for the region, we look at more than just our roads, bike paths, and public transit. Access to regional travel through passenger air, rail, and private busing are important for a region to be fully connected, both within its own communities and to other cities.

Access to regional travel through passenger air, rail, and private busing is important for a region to be fully connected, both within its own communities and to other cities and regions. Tri-County is currently in the early stages of planning for passenger air travel. As a regional international airport, the Capital Region International Airport (LAN) provides direct access to many of the nation’s major hub airports on a daily basis. We are studying improved access for both passengers and freight into and out of the airport. The region's 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) continues long-standing efforts to provide access to passenger rail opportunities in the region. Currently, passenger rail is provided by AMTRAK via the Blue Water line. Passengers have daily access to trains servicing Chicago to Port Huron. Two additional daily trips are available via bus connector to the Wolverine line serving the Detroit – Chicago corridor. As Michigan looks to expand rail network, services, and infrastructure, more initiatives - like the Michigan Coast-to-Coast Rail Study and Midwest Regional Rail Initiative will improve our rail system. The Capital Area Multimodal Gateway , also known as the East Lansing station, is an intermodal transit station in East Lansing, Michigan. Operated by the Capital Area Transportation Authority , it is served by Amtrak's Blue Water passenger train, local buses, and intercity buses.

By working with developers, realtors, nonprofit agencies, municipalities, and economic development agencies to assess the diversity in regional housing needs, we can develop regional housing strategies that improve the quality of life for all.

South Central Regional Housing Partnership The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) published Michigan’s first Statewide Housing Plan in 2022 and established the Michigan Statewide Housing Partnership, which called for the creation of Regional Housing Partnerships (RHPs) . Tri-County, in partnershi p with the Capital Area Housing Partnership (CAHP), is leading the facilitation of this RHP effort for the tri-county region, serving Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties (Region I). This RHP, known as the state's South Central Regional Housing Partnership, has brought stakeholders from across the region together to develop a five-year housing action plan that addresses local and regional housing needs, builds on the region’s existing networks and housing ecosystem, and aligns with the priorities, goals, and strategies identified in both the Statewide Housing Plan and Tri-County's recent HousingDrives study . A variety of public, private, and nonprofit stakeholders that work with housing in the region participated in two RHP Summits and five working group sessions from July through September 2023 to help the community create a path for action. Members of the community were also invited to participate in a public workshop in August and a comment period from September 1-15, 2023 to provide feedback on regional housing priorities and the draft plan. Tri-County and CAHP incorporated this feedback and results from HousingDrives to develop a Housing Action Plan and submitted it to MSHDA at the end of September 2023. The region's Housing Action Plan selects the top goals (five in total) and strategies that community leaders have identified as most important to prioritize for our tri-county area that support the state's plan. It also details who will serve as champions to help achieve these goals and establishes key performance indicators to measure progress over time. VIEW THE HOUSING ACTION PLAN VIEW THE HOUSING ACTION PLAN With guidance from a steering committee , t eams of local housing experts and advocates will continue working together over the next several years to implement actions that equitably educate and empower residents to live in the housing of their choice, stimulate and incentivize development to expand housing options, rehabilitate and preserve existing rental units and homes, support those experiencing homelessness and improve housing stability, and foster collaboration and information sharing between public and private organizations.

Tri-County has deve loped a Regional Housing Assessment of the three-county area to b etter understand these existing trends and barriers in today's housing market. The outcome of this project provides economic developers, housing and real estate professionals, municipal leaders, and other community organizations the data needed to make informed decisions that support meaningful development choices and housing opportunities. The project began near the end of 2021 and concluded public engagement opportunities in fall 2022. Visit HousingDrives for more information. Past Initiatives With support from Mid-Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability HUD grant funding, Tri-County partnered with the School of Planning, Design, and Construction at Michigan State University and the former Greater Lansing Housing Commission (now administered by the Capital Area Housing Partnership ) to conduct a study and create a plan for the future of Mid-Michigan's affordable housing. The Regional Affordable Housing Study completed in 2013 worked to provide an accurate diagnosis of current housing and set goals to improve housing affordability across the region. The study team compared the changes of the information on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of population and households and physical and socioeconomic characteristics of existing housing stock in Mid-Michigan using census data collected in 2000 and 2010, among other methods. The 5-year Comprehensive Regional Fair and Affordable Housing Plan provided an analysis of data trends in the tri-county area and assessed the anticipated housing needs in the upcoming years. Partners made an inventory of planned housing projects from housing developers in the City of Lansing and incorporated the opinions and needs of traditionally underrepresented individuals in the community.

The Groundwater Management Board (GMB) is composed of representatives from Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties who work together to educate the public about groundwater protection, exchange knowledge about best practices, and assist local governments to keep our water resources clean. Events | Meeting Materials | Resources for Residents & Public Officials | News Updates Groundwater Management Board ABOUT RESOURCES HOT TOPICS GET INVOLVED What is Groundwater? What is Groundwater? Every day we turn on our faucets, showers, dishwashers, laundry machines, and countless other water-dependent conveniences without stopping to consider: where does all that water come from? For the tri-county region of Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties, 100% of our water comes from below ground. Through a private well or a public utility, we all rely heavily on groundwater. This is the water that soaks into the ground as rain, melting snow, sprinkler spray, or from any other outlet. Thanks to gravity, water seeps through the different layers of soil and rock until it reaches a layer it can no longer pass through. From there, it will begin to pool and grow in size until it becomes an aquifer. An aquifer is an underground layer where all space between rocks and soil is filled by water. The top of the aquifer, where the water only fills some space between rocks and soil, is referred to as the water table. The water table level can change throughout the year, or over the course of many years, depending on a variety of things like the demand for water pumped from wells, droughts, heavy rainfall, flooding events, or warm winters, just to name a few. If all this water is underground, how do we access it? In nature, cracks in rocks can cause water to rise to the surface due to variances in pressure, which may then result in the formation of a natural spring. In other cases, the water table can reach a high enough level so that it feeds into streams, rivers, or lakes. Luckily for us, we have designed technology to drill wells into these underground resources so that we can access them directly in our homes. Many homeowners have at least one or two wells that pump groundwater automatically – all they have to do is turn on the faucet. LEARN MORE How Do You Get Your Water? Urban Drinking Water People live closer together in urban environments, which means they require a unique design to ensure enough resources, like water, can be shared amongst all who live there. In most urban communities, public water utilities and municipalities are created to help clean and supply drinking water to households and businesses throughout a specific area. In the tri-county region, these public utility companies use their wells to pump groundwater through an intense filtration and treatment process that complies with federal regulations. Then, they send the newly filtered water back underground via a pipe network that connects directly to the water pipes in your home or place of business. The water you receive from your faucet goes through many steps to reach the clean, drinkable quality it has when you turn on the t ap. If you have any concerns about the water you’re receiving, check out the annual Consumer Co nfidence Report for your utility or municipality. If you have any further questions, always reach out to them directly. Public water utilities and municipalities work hard to give you clean water and want you to feel as confident about its quality as they do. FIND YOUR WATER PROVIDER Rural Drinking Water In less densely populated and more rural areas, most communities use a combination of approaches to supply residents with drinking water. Some towns and villages supply treated drinking water for the majority of their population, while some may still rely on private well water. Because of this split, homeowners might not know where their water actually comes from. A property may have originally gotten its water from a private well but could have transitioned to a public water supply as it changed hands from owner to owner. Over time and throughout the growth of a community, this heightens the risk of groundwater pollution as a result of improper care for forgotten or otherwise unprotected wells. Even if you are certain your water comes from a public utility company, there is a chance your property could be home to an improperly abandoned well. Wells that are not properly sealed when abandoned pose a high risk of pollution by giving contaminants direct access to groundwater reserves and, in turn, the drinking water you bring into your home. Common household chemicals such as fertilizers, oil, and road salt are among the most likely pollutants to enter groundwater through improperly abandoned wells. To find out if there are any abandoned wells on your property, check any historical property documents you may own, search your property on Michigan Wellogic, or reach out to your local Health and Human Services Department for additional information and assistance. LEARN MORE About The GMB: Protecting our Resources With Michigan leading the country in number of private household wells, it’s important to know how you get your water so you can properly protect the groundwater we all depend on. Though the different layers of rock and soil help to filter the water entering our aquifers, there are many things that can pollute this resource. Landfills, septic tanks, overuse of fertilizers and pesticides, and large quantities of salt can all contaminate our water – because groundwater is hard to access, it’s also hard to clean if it becomes polluted. That's where we come in! Founded in 1982, the Groundwater Management Board (GMB) is composed of representatives from Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties who work together to educate the public about the importance of groundwater protection, exchange knowledge about best practices, and assist local governments to keep our water resources clean. We are managed by the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission and designated by the State of Michigan as the regional Large Water Users Group for the coordination of groundwater management and related water disputes.
