Just a little confusion, sorry if I wasn't clear when I e-mailed Dorene - the East Park Manor project in Muskegon Heights Michigan is currently co-sponsored by the Muskegon Heights Housing Commission, Coalition for Community Development and Greater Grand Rapids Food Systems Council. However, it was ongoing for the past 4 years underwritten by one individual and gardened primarily by another, working with the Housing Commission.
The project with the Christian housing folks in Grand Rapids is just in the preliminary stages, and has been for a while (most because we don't have enough staff right now to keep stuff going!).
