For referral professionals

Help us understand who you're having trouble housing

Preferred Housing Network is identifying additional properties in Flint and Genesee County based on documented local demand — not guesswork. The strongest way to start is to understand which adults your organization has the most difficulty housing, and what they actually need. Your demand response helps us prioritize which properties to evaluate and where to build agency relationships.

Focused on Flint, Raleigh and Detroit. PHN identifies additional properties based on documented local demand — not assumptions about need.

Housing Demand Intelligence Desk

Help us understand local housing needs — before we build

We develop housing resources around real demand. Tell us what your organization sees on the ground, and we'll share verified availability updates as appropriate homes come online.

Our approach to agencies

“We are identifying and evaluating additional properties in your community for affordable independent shared housing. Before acquiring properties, we want to understand which individuals your organization has the most difficulty helping find appropriate, safe, affordable housing. We would appreciate your perspective on unmet demand, typical housing budgets, room configurations, program requirements and ways to establish a working relationship.”

How responses are used

Demand intelligence, not a client roster

We never ask for confidential client information through this form. Demand summaries are built only from actual aggregated responses.

We collect general demand patterns — populations, rent ranges, room needs and program rules — not individual client records.

Responses help us prioritize which properties to evaluate and where to build agency relationships.

Your organization can opt in to receive verified housing-availability updates when appropriate homes come online.

A public directory listing does not imply a partnership — a relationship is established only through direct outreach.
