Helping employers recruit, retain and grow the workforce they need.


We believe workforce housing should be evaluated as a strategic business tool—not simply as a real estate project.

Across the Midwest, many employers are finding that housing availability can affect their ability to recruit employees, relocate key personnel, retain experienced team members and support future growth.

“Our objective is to become a trusted, long-term resource to employers as they address workforce challenges and pursue sustainable growth. We begin by listening.”

—Our Philosophy

Every employer is different, and every recommendation should reflect that.

Before recommending any solution, we seek to understand:

01 Workforce needs
02 Recruiting challenges
03 Employee retention
04 Commuting patterns
05 Relocation requirements
06 Expansion plans
07 Local housing conditions
08 Long-term business objectives

An Integrated Approach

When workforce housing can support an employer’s objectives, M.H. Graff & Associates and BMOC, Inc. can provide an integrated approach that may include:

Workforce housing assessment
Market and housing evaluation
Site identification
Development or redevelopment
Public and private financing
Municipal and economic development coordination
Project implementation
Leasing
Resident services
Long-term professional property management

A Long-Term Relationship

Our goal is not to complete a single real estate transaction.

Our goal is to work alongside an employer’s leadership team as a long-term resource, helping evaluate and implement practical workforce solutions as needs evolve.

Our success is measured by the employer’s ability to recruit, retain and support the workforce required to achieve its long-term objectives.

Workforce Strategy Conversation

We welcome the opportunity to conduct a confidential introductory discussion with employers interested in evaluating whether housing may be one component of a broader workforce strategy.

The first conversation is designed to learn—not to sell.
