This six-bedroom, open-concept layout was designed specifically for individuals requiring specialized assistance. The accessibility technology incorporated in the development will provide independence to residents with limited mobility and communications skills.

The Mill Iron Home was made possible through a competitive grant of the Affordable Housing Program offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and made possible with a sponsorship from Community Shores Bank. In addition to the grant, Pioneer conducted a fundraising campaign titled “Help Us Make a House a Home” as the grant only funded a portion of the new construction, not the additional funding needed for landscaping, appliances, furniture, technology and more. Concept Design Studio Architects of Norton Shores and Muskegon Quality Builders helped to make Pioneer’s vision come to life.
