The city of South Haven and South Haven Township are holding a forum on housing tonight at South Haven’s L.C. Mohr High School. City Manager Kate Hosier says it starts at 7 pm and will focus with Ryan Kilpatrick of Flywheel Momentum on drafting a housing plan for the communities.

“This is looking at where are the challenges and barriers to getting into housing, what is the demographic most needed and what other housing types are needed for these communities. Also, just looking at any kind of barriers for building new housing.”

Hosier says one factor impacting the lack of affordable housing in the South Haven area is the cost of building. She says the lack of people in construction is also driving up the housing prices.
