Our rent is going up by as much as $270 dollars per month.

McKinley owns about 60 percent of the workforce housing in Washtenaw County. 

As rent increases far outpace the increase in our wages, we are being forced to move farther and farther away from the communities where we work. We believe that teachers should have the option to lives close to their schools. Nurses should have the option to live close to the hospital.

The conditions in our apartments are abysmal. We live with mold, mildew, mice, and flooded basements and laundry rooms. Access to water is unreliable. Having our water shut off, or not having hot water, is a semi-regular occurrence.

The average monthly rent on a two-bedroom McKinley apartment in Ann Arbor is over $1500—before gas charges, water charges, sewer charges, trash charges, and an “administrative fee”.
