Creek Valley Properties broke ground on five CrossMod homes on Walnut Street in Pontiac. The Oakland Together Housing Trust Fund invested $200,000 in the development.
Why it matters
The project shows how factory-built homes installed on permanent foundations can be placed in an established Pontiac neighborhood. It also reserves housing for households across a range of incomes in the area.
The Oakland Together Housing Trust Fund invested $200,000 in the five-home project, with one home reserved for a household earning about 60% of area median income. The remaining four homes are slated for households earning between 80% and 120% of area median income, and final pricing for each home was not included in the project details.

Roadmap
CrossMod homes pair factory construction with site-built design features such as pitched roofs, porches, and garages. This Walnut Street project places that method inside an established Pontiac neighborhood rather than on undeveloped land.
Residents in the Walnut Street area will see five new homes in progress through March 2027. Households earning within the stated income ranges may have access to these homes, with one reserved at about 60% of area median income.
The takeaway
Factory-built homes on permanent foundations offer one approach to adding housing inside existing neighborhoods. Readers interested in similar projects can track local developer announcements and trust fund investments in their county.
