  • Community Housing Network has leveraged OCHN dollars to secure financial resources to provide affordable housing units in Oakland County. With funding from OCHN, we have been able to leverage $109,227,711 in Oakland County.

  • In Oakland County alone, CHN provides property management services for over 120 specialized residential homes.
  • We have an additional 284 units of affordable housing most of which we developed using federal and county grants, tax credits and other outside funding resources. 
  • This volume of housing and our 20-year history being valuable community partner has afforded CHN the ability to develop relationships with high quality contractors who are also vested in our properties and the people who call them home.

Board Executive Committee Reports

Board Chair Executive Report - Jonathan Landsman

OCHN Board Chairman’s report for January 2022

While scheduled as an in-person meeting under the rules of the OMA, the Executive Committee did not meet on January 5th at 4pm. We had several excused absences that we knew would result in a not having a quorum. The CEO Evaluation Committee meeting was also canceled. The question is, should the Executive Committee meetings, be subject to the OMA?

The January agendas for last week’s Committee of the Whole, tonight’s General Board Meeting, and for next week Thursday the 27th ‘s 5pm Study session were previously established in prior study sessions.

· Next week’s Study Session has the following topics:

  • Community Engagement /Public Events Trainings – Christine Burk
  • Public Comment - Linda Bartaaloni-Till
  • DEI Update - Trisha Zizumbo

News From our CEO:

Dana reported:

  • School Mental Health Navigator program was approved to Board of Commissioner Health and Safety on December 9, 2021.
  • ·Oxford Crisis Providers include CommonGround, Honor Health and Easter Seals and other providers volunteers throughout our network.
  • Dana will be presenting at the upcoming Board of Commissioner’s meeting

This demonstrates where and how closely we work with our communities across the county.

Other Business:

  • The CMHA Winter Conference – Feb 8 & 9, will be virtual. I believe that a few of us are attending. I’ll share my notes in my next month’s report.
  • Please remember to RSVP on your attendance to our upcoming meetings.
  • Please continue to advocate for the continuation of our Public Solution by reaching out to your State Senators and others. Mine is Jim Runestad – District 517-373-1758.
