Background

About Marc Craig

A passionate advocate for creating sustainable, inclusive communities, I have been involved in the affordable housing sector for more than 25 years. My dedication to providing housing solutions for those who need it most was sparked early in my career working in state government. At the time, I was helping to close institutions for people with developmental disabilities and mental illness and worked with state and federal programs to create community based settings. As part of this effort, in 1991, I founded Springhill Housing Corporation, a certified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) receiving HOME funds and a sponsor of HUD Section 811 grants, Federal Home Loan Bank programs, and others. I went on to become the founding president of Community Housing Network (CHN) where I continue to lead. Under my leadership, CHN started with a staff of three in 2001 and has grown to more than 90 today, a testament to the tremendous need for affordable housing and homeless programs in the region. Through the years, CHN has leveraged more than $65.61 million in resources from a variety of state, federal, and charitable agencies for programs to create and maintain the stock of affordable housing in Southeast Michigan.
