Celebratory events were held at two newly completed affordable-housing developments, Jefferson Oaks in Oak Park and Woodland Place in Hart, where UnitedHealthcare was the largest investor, providing a total of $18.3 million for construction costs. UnitedHealthcare employees joined community leaders and project partners to assemble welcome baskets filled with household items and healthy foods donated by the company to help welcome residents into their new homes.

In Michigan, UnitedHealthcare partnered with Minnesota Equity Fund and Cinnaire to invest $35 million for four new affordable-housing developments in the state.
