Lansing, Michigan is considering six potential locations for its proposed ModPod community, a collection of compact and affordable prefabricated housing units intended to serve the city's homeless population. City officials will meet on Tuesday to discuss the future location, with a final decision potentially coming during the meeting. The meeting will be livestreamed by local news station WILX News 10.
Why it matters
The ModPod initiative has faced pushback from some Lansing residents since it was announced over a year ago, but the city's efforts to find a location have taken on new urgency amid the recent bitter cold weather in the region.
The details
Of the six proposed locations, four are public parks, one is at a former school building, and the final candidate added in December is the southeast parking lot at the Ingham County Human Services Building. The ModPod community, formally known as the NOVA Lansing Housing Initiative, is the city's attempt to provide compact and affordable prefabricated housing units to address homelessness.
