Yesterday, I joined the Governor for the signing of legislation to create the Michigan Housing Opportunity Tax Credit, cut red tape to help build new homes, and prohibit institutional investors from owning more than 100 single family homes and pricing out working families.
Our bipartisan budget also includes $50 million for the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund to continue supporting the affordable housing needs of low-income households and revitalization of neighborhoods and downtowns.
These are important steps toward expanding housing opportunities and giving communities the tools they need to grow and thrive.

The recently passed school aid budget delivers more than $12.2 million in additional funding for our local school districts, continues free school meals, increases per-pupil funding to $10,300, and expands access to free pre-K for Michigan families.

Our Data Center Guardrail Package, House Bills 6135-6142, would codify the Governor's Michigan Affordable and Responsible Growth Action Plan in statute alongside additional requirements on decommissioning, sound studies, and stringent reporting requirements.
The House Republicans refuse to give these bills a hearing or vote.

Thank you to all the first responders and linemen who are working tirelessly to restore power and keep our communities safe throughout the holiday weekend.
Your efforts are making a real difference for countless families.👷♂️ RESTORATION UPDATE
Crews have restored about 86% of the 43,000 customers affected by the storms.
Most remaining customers are expected to be back on by 5 PM, if not sooner. We will keep working until everyone is restored.
If you wonder why you see neighbors or nearby streets being restored while your power is still out, it is often due to which circuit you are on. Sometimes neighbors or those on the other side of the street can be served by a different circuit, or are split off a different segment needing different repairs.
