The Kalamazoo City Commission approved the annual agreement between the city and the Kalamazoo Foundation For Excellence (FFE).
COO Lam and FFE representatives noted the budget includes funding to explore a home‑share program — a model that matches people who have excess housing with those seeking housing, potentially creating short‑term housing capacity, income opportunities, and companionship. Lam said the funding is meant for feasibility work and recommendations back to the commission; Milestone Senior Services has been discussed as a potential partner.
Commissioner Prado abstained from the vote, citing an employer conflict; the remaining commissioners approved the agreement.
