County approves Lighthouse Michigan project plan; $6M EDC bond to cover gap for 98-bed non-congregate shelter
Summary
The committee recommended approval for Lighthouse Michigan’s project plan — a three-story, 98-bed non-congregate shelter and support facilities — with an anticipated $6,000,000 EDC bond filling remaining financing gaps within a roughly $23,000,000 total project.
Staff presented the Lighthouse Michigan project plan for a 98-bed non-congregate shelter and support facilities at the Lighthouse campus in Pontiac. The project’s total cost was reported at approximately $23,000,000 with philanthropy and other committed sources covering much of the budget; the EDC bond would provide a $6,000,000 gap financing piece.
Commissioners voiced support for the non-congregate shelter model and approved forwarding the project plan; the staff read a statutory notice scheduling a public hearing on the plan and bond issuance for Aug. 13, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. in the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Auditorium.
