Get to know Michaels: Founded in 1973, Michaels has long been a housing provider of choice for cities, housing authorities, universities and the Department of Defense, among others, and has developed and manages all segments of the market from subsidized public housing to tax credit, military and student housing, and market-rate multifamily.
- Now, amidst a mounting workforce housing crisis that’s pushing Americans out of the communities where they work, Michaels is leveraging its decades of experience to address the “missing middle,” focusing its expertise on creating attainable workforce housing.
- Michaels has recognized that the lack of attainable workforce housing has become especially acute for healthcare systems, impacting hospitals’ ability to recruit and retain essential workers, in turn affecting patient care and driving up operating costs.
- As a partner to several leading healthcare systems, Michaels is offering innovative solutions that leverage the unique strengths and resources of each partner, allowing the healthcare professionals to concentrate on delivering care, while Michaels delivers the housing.
Now, AzHHA members, whose teams and systems are experiencing issues spurred by the lack of attainable housing in their communities, have access to Michaels’ specialized expertise.
