PARTNERSHIPS - KEY TO SUCCESS
The long term partnerships HomeStretch has established will continue to provide the capital and technical expertise needed to produce quality affordable housing throughout the Grand Traverse Region for many years to come. These partners have made major contributions to the success of HomeStretch.
- Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis
- Traverse Area Association of Realtors (TAAR)
IN RECOGNITION
The support of our partners is what allows HomeStretch to put our plans into action. In recognition of the critical role played by major contributors, HomeStretch presented three partners with a hand-crafted mosiac commissioned especially for them. The work was created by Adam Begley, a mosaic artist from Leelanau County and framed by State of the Art Framing of Traverse City. The plaques were presented at the recent Affordable Housing Conference held in Lansing.
