As we count down to the grand opening of Bethel Suites, we've been excitedly sharing our mission and vision for this project with members of our local community.
Bethel Suites came to life due to the generosity of volunteers, donors, and supporters like you, and the impact of media helps us spread the message of Community Catalysts to people who may never have heard about us otherwise.
Below are two digital articles recently published about Bethel Suites, detailing our efforts and the importance of affordable, attainable housing in Livingston County.
#1: Howell nonprofit transforms motel, nearly ready to welcome guests in need of housing — Livingston Daily
The Livingston Daily reported on the 14-unit, 5,000-square-foot conversion of the former Crest Motel at 4495 W. Grand River Ave., the waitlist that had already formed, and our plan to welcome the first guests into efficiency-style rooms that spring.
#2: Motel in Howell to become affordable housing — WLNS
“We don’t have any kind of shelter in Livingston County, we don’t have any kind of short-term housing.”
WLNS covered how a motel in Howell is being transformed into an opportunity for people struggling with housing, featuring Community Catalysts director Eileen Zilch.
If you are feeling moved to donate to Bethel Suites, we gladly accept donations to help offset the costs of bringing this project to completion. Because we rely on individual donors and grants instead of government funding, your generosity allows us to continue our work and provide safe, dignified housing for people who need it most.
Thank you to the reporters at WLNS and Livingston Daily for their articles on Bethel Suites, and for spreading the news of our grand opening across Michigan!
