It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of The Michaels Organization's legendary Founder and Chairman, Michael J. Levitt, at the age of 94.
For more than 50 years, Mike's vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to creating communities that Lift Lives shaped our organization and helped transform the affordable housing industry.
A true pioneer, Mike was among the first developers to embrace government-assisted housing programs, the first to offer resident scholarships, and the first to expand supportive services that have since become industry models.
A housing visionary, philanthropist, and a hall of famer in both business and leisure, Mike leaves behind an extraordinary legacy reflected in the communities we serve, the opportunities we create, and the countless lives he touched.
