           Get a Peek at Our Newest West Michigan Affordable Living Property




























          Samaritas will break ground soon on our Spring Lake property (near Grand Haven in northwest
          Ottawa County) later this year. This new property will feature 53 units which include 43 one-
          bedroom apartments and ten two-bedroom apartments. Eight of these units will be reserved for
          people with special needs, and another eight of these units will be for members of the Little River
          Band of Ottawa Indians.

          The four-story building will be located at 732 Savidge Street and will be an ideal place for those
          with limited means who want independence, privacy, and a sense of community. Funding for this
          Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) property was awarded to Samaritas by the Michigan
          Housing State Development Authority (MSHDA). Pinnacle Construction, a Grand Rapids-based
          company, is the architect and general contractor for the building.

           At Samaritas, we believe that love starts with the foundation of a safe and
           affordable home. Our modern spaces are available in cities all over
           Michigan for individuals, seniors, and families on fixed and lower incomes.
          Contact us at (313) 823-7700 for more information about this property, and visit
          Samaritas.org/AffordableLiving to see our other housing options.
