This week’s VAAC Friday meeting is focused on Breaking Down Michigan’s 2027 Budget: What It Means forOur Communities 

State budgets are more than numbers on a page. They reveal priorities and show whether our communities are truly being invested in.

Last month, Governor Gretchen Whitmer released her eighthand final executive budget proposal. At a time of national economicuncertainty, rising costs, and federal cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP,the administration says this balanced proposal builds on Michigan’s recentrecord of bipartisan progress.

But what does it actually mean for our communities?

Join us Friday, March 27 for our next VAAC Friday meeting as we break down Michigan’s proposed 2027 state budget with special guest Jayme Vosovic, the Michigan League for Public Policy, Community Engagement Director. We’ll explore what’s included, where the money is going, and how these decisions could impact housing, education, public safety, workforce opportunities, and community well-being across Michigan.

Everyone is invited this Friday Mar 27, 2026 from 12:30pm – 1:30pm EDT on Zoom. Join us here!
