As the new executive director at the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Scott Woosley plans to focus on spurring investment growth, increasing homeownership and revitalizing Michigan’s downtowns and neighborhoods. Woosley, a Rochester real estate developer and financier, was unanimously appointed to lead the agency that promotes community development and affordable housing by MSHDA’s board on Wednesday, Oct. 24 – a move that was lauded by Gov. Rick Snyder.
“I applaud the MSHDA board’s action and am pleased to welcome Scott Woosley to this important post,” Snyder said. “Scott is a great choice to lead MSHDA into the future, and I am confident his background and knowledge will help to effectively support the authority’s mission.”
The board’s appointment of Wosley, a Michigan Fast Track Land Bank Authority board member who has more than 25 years of real estate and investment experience, becomes effective Nov. 1.
