The City of Portage encourages housing developers, nonprofits, and supportive service agencies to submit proposals and apply for the housing millage funds that were levied on December 1, 2021, to address the affordable housing crisis in Kalamazoo County. The housing millage, approved by voters in November 2020, will provide rental subsidies, permanent housing, and related services for residents of Kalamazoo County over the next eight years.
