$200,000 project will be first in-depth study in area

Oakland County and Wayne State are conducting a study of the county\'s housing needs. Wayne's Center for Urban Studies will spearhead the $200,000 study. Kurt Metzger, director of research for the Center, said comprehensive housing studies are typical in cities seeking federal housing grants. \"To have a countywide plan that incorporates 61 cities, villages and townships is unique. We\'re going to try to bring in as much as we can. It\'s looking at the county to see how accessible housing is for a broad range of people.\"
