Message From Our President & CEO

Building A Brighter Future The theme of our 2017 Annual Report is Building a Brighter Future! It’s a theme that fits nicely with Midwest Housing Equity Group, Inc.’s mission of Changing Lives for a Better Tomorrow. A safe, decent and affordable home is the foundation upon which a family builds its brighter life. But how does one go about Building a Brighter Future through housing?

First, it takes a vision. A vision typically brought to the fore by our developer partners. These are the creative folks that look at an abandoned building, in-fill lots in the urban core or empty land on the edge of town and think “we can do something great here!”

Second, it takes financial resources; resources provided by the private sector, the federal government, state governments (hat tip to our Housing Finance Agency friends) and municipalities. These providers do the tough but important work of allocating scarce resources, the raw materials of brighter futures, to developments that best meet the needs of their communities. In this regard, as we look to 2018 and the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it remains important to educate our elected officials on the need to preserve and expand the amount of financial raw materials available to Build a Brighter Future. We’re here to help with that advocacy, just let us know what you need.

Third, it takes the builders: the contractors, trades and skilled labor. These folks take the vision and resources and turn it into something tangible – a home! A home delivered on time, on budget and as promised. It’s easier said than done. But our partners find a way to do it. While we’re on the topic of the trades and skilled labor, it is painfully evident that we as nation have not devoted enough attention to this dwindling workforce.

As affordable housing stakeholders, we all need to do our part to create youthful interest in these jobs. Jobs that pay well, provide long-term careers and help create a greater good.

Fourth, it takes operators. It’s important to finish the foundation and open the doors, but the real change for families only occurs if a safe, decent and affordable home retains all of those characteristics over the

long-term. Property managers may seem to have a thankless job. Everyone is always asking questions of you: Why are costs so high? Why isn’t this unit rent ready? Where are the income verifications? Know that we appreciate all you do. Without you, what started as a home to Build a Brighter Future would instead turn into a place to meet a darker fate.

We are proud to partner with each of you throughout the process of Building a Brighter Future! Whether it’s helping with the vision, assisting with the resources, investing in the partnership, aiding in the construction and lease-up or protecting the physical and financial health of the properties, we try to do our part. In 2017, we raised over $200 million of new capital to Build a Brighter Future. We invested in 29 developments, helping create 1,013 safe, decent and affordable rental homes. I want to thank our great team and our excellent Board of Directors – you are the ones at Midwest Housing that continue to change my life and brighten my future!

So, what does all this mean? It means that since 1993, together we have Built a Brighter future for well over 50,000 families. These brighter futures are found in the 500 developments closed since MHEG’s inception, resulting in almost 16,000 rental homes created in more than 200 Midwest communities.

Enjoy our Annual Report. And thank you for Building a Brighter Future!

John Wiechmann President/CEO
