Michigan voters have sent a pretty clear message to the state’s utility giants, and it’s not exactly a glowing endorsement.

Lindsey Jenn November 6, 2026 0 Homeownership , Michigan Photo by Kindel Media In-person classes to be held in Southfield, virtual options available to all Michiganders; housing market in Michigan favorable to buyers. Gesher Human Services , one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, is offering Homebuyer Education Classes twice a month through the end of January.

The in-person classes will be held at Gesher’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road ) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; afternoon classes are
