Housing Stability & Affordability

Keep Longtime Residents from being Pushed Out

in Michigan’s 88th District

Too many folks are being priced out of our district.

If you grew up here, you should be able to afford to live here. If you build this community, you should be able to afford to retire here.

Homes have never been harder to attain.

Our community is losing the families who built it.

Rising property taxes, skyrocketing insurance costs, utility bills that seem to climb every year, and increasing home maintenance expenses are forcing longtime residents – especially seniors on fixed incomes – out of the neighborhoods they’ve called home for decades.

 

As your state representative, Kiel will fight to ensure that homeownership remains stable and affordable for the families who’ve invested their lives here and for the families looking to start a life here.

Kiel will:

Protect seniors and longtime homeowners

by expanding property tax relief programs and advocating for assessment reform that doesn’t punish people for staying in their homes as property values rise around them.

Hold utility companies accountable

Demanding transparency in rate increases and fighting for consumer protections that keep electric, gas, and water bills affordable for working families. No one should have to choose between heating their home and putting food on the table.

Support home repair assistance programs

that help longtime residents maintain their homes without taking on debt they can’t afford, keeping neighborhoods strong, and property values stable.

Preserve neighborhood character

by ensuring that development in our communities serves existing residents first, not outside investors looking to flip properties for profit.

Address the insurance crisis

by working to stabilize homeowners’ insurance rates and explore state-level solutions to ensure coverage remains accessible and affordable.
