In the July 30 issue of the Glen Arbor Sun, Cameron Krepps wrote a thoughtful and heartfelt lament about the lack of affordable housing for hard-working young trades people like him who grew up locally, work here to support themselves and their families, but who cannot afford to rent or own a home in Leelanau County. Cameron identified the problem, but he failed to suggest a solution. The local volunteers that makeup the Sleeping Bear Gateways Council believe that solutions do exist and that working together as a community we can provide local housing for people like Cameron, writes Jon Lanphier, President-elect of the Sleeping Bear Gateways Council in this op-ed for the Sun.
