• Howell nonprofit opening applications for affordable starter homes (bnd.com) — Four new affordable starter homes are coming to Howell Township on Burkhart Road, with applications opening September 30 for local residents who live or work in Livingston County and meet income limits. The homes will be sold below cost under a shared-equity model to keep them affordable for future buyers, offering a rare ownership opportunity in a tight housing market.
• Learn Easy Tomato Canning at Hands on Extension Workshop (michiganagconnection.com) — Howell residents can learn safe, step-by-step tomato canning at an MSU Extension workshop on September 29 at the Grand River Avenue classroom. The hands-on session covers water-bath canning basics, when to use pressure canning, and food safety tips, with registration required by September 25 for anyone wanting to preserve their garden harvest confidently.
• Vaccination Rates Drop To 10-Year Low For Michigan's School–Age Children (whmi.com) — Michigan's childhood vaccination waivers have climbed to a 10‑year high, and Howell Public Schools is among rural districts with double‑digit kindergarten waiver rates.
