In fact,\u00a0according to polling commissioned by InvestUP, a lack of available housing is the \u201ctop challenge\u201d\u00a0facing the Upper Peninsula. The lack of available housing not only drives up housing costs, but also stands in the way of growth, including the ability to attract and retain workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">InvestUP\u2019s innovative housing development fund, Build U.P., has been working to address this\u00a0challenge with their Cash Collateral and Residential Infrastructure Loan Programs, which have\u00a0collectively closed on three projects to date, with several more in the pipeline. However, Build\u00a0 U.P. has now added a new program, the Career and Technical Education Partnership Program,\u00a0that addresses this challenge in a whole new and creative way by partnering with local\u00a0intermediate school districts (ISD) to address the regional shortage of skilled trades workers\u00a0needed to build new homes, while adding new housing to the market.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a $1 million investment from Build U.P., the partnership will support the Career and Technical&nbsp; Education (CTE) programs at the Delta Schoolcraft ISD and Copper Country ISD. It is also&nbsp;expected that an agreement will soon be signed with the Eastern UP ISD. In total, this would see&nbsp;students construct six new homes in five communities. Construction is expected to start this fall&nbsp;on homes in Escanaba and Houghton, while construction is expected to start next year on homes&nbsp;in Cedarville, L\u2019Anse, and Manistique.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership between Build U.P. and the ISDs is in effect bringing back the past, when local&nbsp;skilled trades programs had the resources to construct a home which was then publicly sold when completed by the students. With constrained budgets, local schools have been unable to give&nbsp;students this important experience in recent years. Instead, they have generally only been able&nbsp;to have students build some home components on school property.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Build U.P. will advance the cost of the materials and supplies necessary to give students the benefit of actual hands-on experience by building new homes in their community. Once&nbsp;completed, the homes will be sold, with the costs that Build U.P. advanced for materials and supplies returned to the program so that it can sustain itself, while enabling the schools to retain the balance of the sale proceeds and in turn strengthen their CTE programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Build U.P. CEO Marty Fittante \u201cthis is truly a win-win-win for our region and schools\u00a0and, most importantly, our students.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participating ISD\u2019s shared their excitement about this partnership, including the valuable real life&nbsp;experience students will gain in residential construction, as well as how this sets the stage for long-term growth of the construction trades programs for schools and what that means for community growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delta-Schoolcraft ISD Superintendent, Doug Leisenring said, \u201cthe Delta-Schoolcraft ISD values\u00a0its partnership with Build U.P. Our Building Trades programs are eager to engage in hands-on instruction at an actual job site, as opposed to traditional classroom settings. This innovative\u00a0partnership provides our students with a more effective learning environment, better equipping\u00a0 them for diverse career opportunities in the construction trades following their high school\u00a0 education.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andy Moyle has a unique role in assessing the opportunity of this partnership, as both a builder with Moyle Construction and member of the Copper Country ISD Advisory Committee, \u201cAs a&nbsp;developer and builder our project pipeline looks ahead 12-24 months. With the talent shortage in&nbsp;trades, projects are pushed out for years, or they just never happen. This means less community development, less opportunity for businesses to expand, and less employment opportunities. To balance the supply and demand of skilled trades would be so positive. Programs like the CTE&nbsp; house building will help to solve the long-term crisis of skilled trades shortages.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State policymakers also offered strong support for the initiative, recognizing it as a model for addressing community needs through public-private partnerships.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State Senator Ed McBroom applauded the partnership, saying, \u201cI am glad to see this creative and\u00a0timely collaboration happening. Leaders across the U.P. have a long reputation for working\u00a0together to accomplish multiple goals as efficiently as possible and this partnership shows that\u00a0commitment, especially to benefit students, is alive and well.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, John Damoose, State Senator for the 37<sup>th <\/sup>District, also offered his appreciation for this\u00a0cooperative and creative approach, \u201cAfter years of stagnation in skilled trades industries, the state is now seeing a resurgence as a result of initiatives like this. As we seek to build more homes, train more students, and boost manufacturing, these kinds of programs will play a major role in getting students interested in various trades and skill sets,\u201d Speaking to the state funding received\u00a0by InvestUP to stand up Build U.P., Damoose, R-Harbor Springs, continued, \u201cThis is exactly the\u00a0 type of use that policymakers envisioned with this funding, and I appreciate this creative approach\u00a0that gives students real-world experience and helps highlight and strengthen the trades in\u00a0Michigan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the initial focus is on building six homes, the vision is that the Build U.P. CTE Partnership\u00a0 Program will be scaled to extend far beyond this first phase, reaching other ISDs across the\u00a0region. Said Fittante, \u201ctoday\u2019s announcement is merely a first step as we envision a sustainable\u00a0solution across the U.P. through this program to address two of the most pressing challenges facing the region \u2013 housing and skilled labor shortages. In fact, other ISDs have already\u00a0expressed an interest in this partnership. So, more to come, soon!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on the Career and Technical Education Partnership Program and other\u00a0initiatives led by Build U.P., visit <a href=\"http:\/\/investupmi.com\/\u00a0\">http:\/\/investupmi.com\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About InvestUP<\/strong><br>InvestUP is the regional economic development organization for the Upper Peninsula, working to advance prosperity across all fifteen counties of the U.P.
