Summary

The Beaver Island Housing Committee’s supportive-housing proposal envisioned six initial accessible living units, with six additional assisted-living units if needed. The project was to share infrastructure with the new Rural Health Center on donated land and use sliding-scale rents; construction was expected to begin in spring 2004.

Evidence limits

The article describes a proposed project and its planning history, not a completed housing complex, financing close, or later occupancy.
