TROY, Mich. (AP) — Michigan's Kresge Foundation is helping launch a $100 million fund that seeks to improve health care access and expand housing opportunities in low-income areas.

Organizers announced the start of the Healthy Futures Fund on Monday. Besides the Troy-based Kresge Foundation, they include Morgan Stanley and the Local Initiatives Support Council.
