🏆 The Village of Cassopolis is incredibly honored to have received the **Legacy Award** from MSHDA (Michigan State Housing Development Authority) at the recent All Grantee Meeting — and even more humbled to share that we were the ONLY community in the State of Michigan to receive this recognition.
For a small community like Cassopolis, this award means so much. This recognition reflects the dedication, persistence, and heart our team brings to serving our residents every single day.
MSHDA recognized not only the success of these programs, but the LEGACY they are helping create in our community. Over the past several years, the Village has secured and administered more than 2 Million dollars in homeowner assistance and housing improvement funding, benefiting nearly 20% of homeowner-occupied homes within the Village through multiple programs.
These investments are about far more than home repairs — they are about protecting families, preserving neighborhoods, supporting aging residents, and ensuring people have the opportunity to remain in the homes they love. This work is a key part of our responsible growth strategy within the Village and our commitment to putting residents first.
We are proud that Cassopolis is creating a lasting legacy where homeowners are supported, neighborhoods are strengthened, and residents are given the opportunity to stay in and improve their homes.
A very special thank you goes to Tonia Williams, Alexis O’Flynn, Heather Brown, and Ky'ante Buck whose thousands of hours of hard work, compassion, and commitment made this achievement possible. Their dedication has changed lives and helped make Cassopolis a model for communities across Michigan.
This award belongs to our entire community, and we are grateful that MSHDA recognizes the impact Cassopolis is making — proving that even the smallest communities can lead in meaningful and transformational ways. ❤️🏡
