Community Catalysts’ current initiatives to bring more housing that people can afford to Livingston County:
- Housing Catalysts – a community initiative launched in October 2023, with a goal to develop and implement a SMART work plan for Livingston County that produces more affordable and attainable housing over the next 5-7 years.
- A tiny home community in Livingston County using a “rent to own” model, to allow lower-income people to become homeowners.
- Accessory Dwelling Units to add more housing more quickly and in more places than a typical apartment complex would.
