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. While the four-hour classes typically cost $50 for a family, this season the fees are being waived, to remove one extra barrier to families getting into a home that they can own. Such classes are a requirement for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Down Payment Assistance Program which provides $7,500-10,000 loans to families with limited incomes hoping to purchase a home. A report by Patch in October suggested the Michigan housing market is showing signs of shifting toward buyers, giving buyers more negotiating power than sellers. Experts believe this is because there are fewer buyers than normal because some have been priced out of the market, and others are worried because of economic uncertainty. 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

Michigan Supplier Starts Aerospace and Defense Operation

Michigan-based auto supplier JVS now has an aerospace and defense division. JVIS opened a tech center in Auburn Hills, Mich., last month to support the operation. JVS officials said the facility would be part of a new company functioning as a business separate from the company’s automotive interests, producing a variety of A&D products. Its first contract is with the Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center in Warren, Mich., manufacturing part of the “silent watch” auxiliary power unit. The contract is valued at $13.2 million. The unit converts diesel fuel into electric power to keep military systems running without just using diesel generators. The heat and noise they produce can be a risk to troops on the battlefield.
