MAP is proud to share snapshots from the recent film screening of The Road Home, produced by Emmy Award-winning director and cinematographer Kameron Donald.

Following the film, MAP CEO Jan Little joined fellow housing experts for a panel discussion, where they shared insights and answered thoughtful questions from attendees about housing challenges, solutions, and community impact.

What an unforgettable evening celebrating 40 years of impact! 🎉

The Michigan Ability Partners 40th Anniversary Gala was an incredible success, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us to honor this milestone. From inspiring stories to meaningful connections, the night truly reflected the heart of our mission.

A special thank you to Mike Utley for being part of this celebration and helping make the evening even more memorable. Your presence and support mean so much.

For four decades, Michigan Ability Partners has been proud to serve Veterans and individuals with disabilities—empowering independence, creating opportunities, and building stronger communities. This celebration was not just about looking back, but also about the future we continue to build together.

Thank you to our supporters, partners, and community for standing with us. Here’s to the next 40 years! 💙

Big progress day for Michigan Ability Partners (MAP) Properties! Moving dirt efficiently thanks to the incredible landscaping support from Jack Rathburn, who generously provided us with the use of his truck, dump trailer, and skid steer. Huge shoutout to 8 Point Building Supply of Ann Arbor for delivering 10 yards of topsoil at a great discount. With everyone’s help, Mike’s team was able to reseed lawns across four of our properties. Teamwork makes all the difference! https://www.facebook.com/jack.rathburn.5
