City of Grand Rapids
Grand Rapids Housing Commission
About the Board
We manage Grand Rapids' public housing. We also make sure our city's housing stock stays in good condition. Here's a quick look at what we do to meet our goals:
- Purchase or acquire public or senior housing
- Construct public or senior housing
- Maintain public or senior housing
- Improve or repair public or senior housing
- Extend public or senior housing
- Eliminate poor housing conditions
- Hire and manage officers and employees
You can see that we do a lot. That's why we keep our own website. Check out www.grhousing.org to learn more about what we do.
