Northwest Michigan Supportive Housing - NMSH

07/17/2026

Just $3,575 left to reach our $50,000 goal... we're so close!

A huge thank you to all of the supporters who have already given over the last two months to make this happen.

Your generosity, which has been DOUBLED by the incredible match from Rhonda and Michael Estes, has enabled us to provide more permanent supportive housing for families right here in Northern Michigan.

If you can give to help us close this gap: Every dollar donated between now and August 12 is still being matched dollar-for-dollar!

Let's finish strong: Donate today at www.nmshousing.org/housing-hope

We're excited to announce the Housing Hope Matching Challenge!

NMSH supporters Rhonda and Michael Estes have pledged to match every donation to NMSH dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000, through August 12. Our goal is to raise $100,000 total, which would allow us to provide permanent supportive housing and services for at least 15 new households in Northern Michigan in 2026—pairing a stable home with ongoing case management and support.

We're already more than halfway there. Donors have contributed $30,000 so far, and the Esteses have matched every dollar, putting us past $60,000 and counting!

We are incredibly grateful for Munson Healthcare's generous support of Northwest Michigan Supportive Housing. Their commitment to strengthening our community and helping neighbors find stability and hope makes a real difference every single day.

Because of partners like Munson, more individuals and families in our region have access to the supportive services and housing resources they need to build brighter futures. We couldn’t do this work without compassionate community leaders standing beside us.

Thank you, Munson, for believing in this mission and investing in the well‑being of Northwest Michigan. Your support truly matters.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT CRAZY PEOPLE - Wednesday, December 10th @ 7 PM at the State Theatre for Community Night! Presented by NAMI Grand Traverse & NMSH!

🎬DIRECTOR: GAIL FREEDMAN
Gail Freedman is the Director & Producer of "Hot to Trot", an award-winning feature documentary inside the fascinating but little-known world of same-sex competitive ballroom dance – an idiosyncratic attack on bigotry, called “stirring and impressive, warm & involving, with unique heft & vitality” by the Los Angeles Times. She is also known for "Making the 9/11 Memorial", a primetime special for The History Channel, which aired on the 10th anniversary of September 11th, when the Memorial opened.

A one-time aspiring concert pianist, Gail Freedman abandoned the stage for the screen many years ago, with brief stops in academia, government and health care along the way. It hasn’t exactly been a planned migration, but in 25 years as an award-winning filmmaker, she has produced, directed and written dozens of documentaries on a wide range of subjects, through her former company, Parrot Productions. She has also taught at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
