Unlocking the Missing Middle: Leveraging Michigan's New Housing Tax Increment Financing Tools

This Mackinac Policy Conference session brings together leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to explore how Michigan’s new TIF tools can be strategically deployed to expand housing options and strengthen community development. Panelists will discuss how cross‑sector collaboration accelerates project feasibility, aligns resources, and unlocks solutions for the missing middle, those households who earn too much to qualify for traditional subsidies but too little to afford market‑rate housing. Attendees will gain practical insights into how these tools work, where they are most effective, and how partnerships can turn policy into real‑world outcomes.
