State Representative Kristian Grant

It always feels good to be back at my alma mater, especially when Spartans are coming together to help shape Michigan’s future. 💚🤍

Thank you to Spartan Housing Alliance and Abundant Housing Michigan for bringing us together for a thoughtful conversation about housing. We talked about the challenges students and young people face finding a place they can afford, how the Housing Readiness Package could help create more housing options, and how students can make their voices heard.

You should be able to build a future here in Michigan and find a home in the community you love. That’s why this work matters to me, and why hearing directly from the young people navigating these challenges is so important.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, asked questions, and shared your perspective. Keep speaking up and staying involved. Your voice belongs in these conversations! Go Green! 💚

Had a great time stopping by the newly renovated Seidman Boys & Girls Club right here in District 82! 💙

I got to check out the new space and sit down with the team to talk about their work, their priorities, and how we can continue supporting the young people and families they serve.

Our kids deserve spaces where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow, and I’m grateful for the work the Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids does every day to make that possible!

Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference is always a time to convene and connect. I'm thankful for the relationships that are built, but also the energy and ideas I bring home with me each year! We are in a crucial moment in time and I hope we will all be able to look back and say “I rolled up my sleeves and got to work".

The deadline to file your 2026 Home Heating Credit Claim is this Wednesday, September 30. You can submit Form MI-1040CR-7 online or by mail, even if you aren’t required to file a Michigan income tax return.

As the colder months approach, I want to make sure our neighbors know about Michigan’s Home Heating Credit. If you’re a Michigan homeowner or renter, you may qualify for help with heating costs.

Check your eligibility and find the form at Michigan.gov/HeatingAssistance

Coffee hour is this morning! ☕ Stop by AYA Youth Collective from 9–10 AM to chat and share what’s on your mind. Hope to see you soon!

Made my first southprize stop was at Wing Heaven!

I was so happy to see Ms. Minnie herself! I thought my playing card and she signed it along with Steve the artist!

What art are you seeing today?

Grand Rapids has such a rich history, and I’m always grateful for the moments that give us a chance to learn from it and celebrate it.

I joined the Urban League of West Michigan, National Urban League Executive VP Dennis Serette, and community members at the Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives (GRAAMA) for the unveiling of the original photograph from the 1950 National Urban League Conference held right here in Grand Rapids.

That gathering holds an important place in our city’s civil rights history, including the integration of the Pantlind Hotel, now the Amway Grand Plaza. More than 75 years later, it was so special to come together and reflect on that history and the people who helped move our community forward.

Thank you to the Urban League of West Michigan, GRAAMA, and everyone who helped preserve this piece of our history. I’m grateful this photograph and the story behind it will be here for generations to come!

My heart is with the family, loved ones, and community of Mario David Coronado.

No traffic stop should end in death. We should not accept fear as a normal part of life for anyone in our city.
