Ethos Development Partners

My first job when I moved to Michigan in 2003 was at Lighthouse. And this was my first MSHDA LIHTC project which is providing 40 units of affordable housing in Pontiac. Happy to come full circle and work with Lighthouse, the development team, MSHDA, Oakland County and the Pontiac Housing Commission to finance renovations almost 20 years later.

Great visit at Lee Plaza today with our friends from the City of Detroit - including the roof with amazing views of city. Thank you for your support and commitment to the rebirth of this historic 15 story building that will provide much needed affordable housing for seniors.

Thank you Michigan Historic Preservation Network for this award! Ethos is honored to have been on Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan's development team for this transformative historic project that is providing much needed affordable housing in Detroit.

Ethos is proud to be on the development team which is transforming the historic St. Mary of Redford Catholic school in Detroit into 61 units of affordable housing for the formerly homeless. Congratulations Volunteers of America Michigan!

$31M project to transform long-vacant Detroit school into housing for chronically homeless “We’re talking about making sure that someone not only has a roof over their head, but has the support to make them self-sufficient,” Mayor Mary Sheffield said.

Anne and I were happy to visit Vista De Socorro in Socorro, New Mexico which Ethos developed in partnership with El Camino Real Housing Authority and JL Gray Company. This new development is providing 32 units of much needed affordable housing for the community.

We are excited to Announce that Ethos President Joe Heaphy has been selected to serve on Mayor-Elect Mary Sheffield's Transition Committee as a member of the Housing Development & Planning Committee! Thank you, Mayor-Elect Sheffield, for this opportunity to help shape housing policy during your administration.

In addition to our work in developing affordable housing, Ethos assists organizations in the financing of transformative projects using New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC). We are thrilled to have helped Detroit Horse Power (DHP) close on NMTC and other financing for the construction of a $13 million urban equestrian center in Detroit that will be the largest in the nation.

The new facility will feature stables that will accommodate up to 17 horses, an indoor riding arena, multiple outdoor riding spaces, and classrooms, allowing DHP to significantly expand its operations to serve up to 2,000 Detroit Public Schools Community District students annually. Through its proven youth development model, DHP will continue to expose the next generation of Detroiters to the social-emotional benefits of horseback riding, ultimately equipping them with the skills they need to succeed. Congratulations to David Silver and the Detroit Horse Power team!

Congratulations to Lighthouse on breaking ground on phase one of its new campus, a $32 million investment in Pontiac! We are thrilled to serve as the development consultant on this project that in the near term will provide emergency shelter beds and a dining hall, and in future phases will include a supermarket, community meeting space, economic opportunity center, and more. Thank you to all who believed in the possibility of this transformative project.

Lighthouse to break ground on $32M expansion of Pontiac campus The buildings are part of a larger plan to expand the Lighthouse campus in Pontiac.

Final interior touches are complete at Parkview Apartments which Ethos developed in partnership with the Traverse City Housing Commission and Cove Investments. Parkview is currently leasing up 46 units of much-needed affordable housing in Traverse City for those who are age 55 and older.
