From Little to Big: A Growing Problem
The greater Lowell community is in the midst of a housing shortage, similar to the rest of our state and nation. Housing is complex, and housing that is affordable even more so. But how did we get here and what does it mean? Essentially, there is an imbalance between supply and demand, the result of strong economic growth in West Michigan. In the past few years, many new businesses have moved to the Lowell area and others have expanded, bringing more employees. At the same time, our strong school district continues to attract new families. All of this is great, but affordable housing has not kept pace. And our neighbors in need are impacted the most.
Join us in Building Foundations and Building Hope
Help us take that next critical step to address the housing shortage in our community. This project allows us to make much-needed and long-overdue progress today and create a path forward for tomorrow. Together we can be the hands and feet of Jesus by helping others build their firm foundation.

Ground broken, dreams building!
May 22nd, 2025, marked a monumental moment for our Lowell community. After years of dedicated planning and unwavering community support, we officially broke ground on FROM's new affordable housing units right here in our city. This wasn't just about construction – it was about creating hope and opportunity for families who deserve a safe, stable place to call home. We know that having secure housing changes everything: it gives children a consistent address for school, parents peace of mind, and families the foundation they need to thrive and build their futures. Every shovel of dirt turned represented countless hours of collaboration, advocacy, and belief in what's possible when a community comes together. To every neighbor, supporter, and partner who made this vision a reality - THANK YOU.
Here's to the families who will soon have keys in their hands and hope in their hearts. Home isn't just four walls and a roof – it's where dreams take root and families flourish.
FAQ
How can get I get on the waitlist for this housing?
Unfortunately there is no waitlist at this time. Look for more information in 2026.
How do I apply to live here?
When the units are available for rent, there will be a sign in front of the building and other notification of their availability. Because building has just started, we cannot provide any more timing.
