Eastbrook Homes Announcement

Dec 20, 2025

It’s been an award-winning year for Eastbrook Homes – Homes for HOPE’s faithful partner of more than 10 years. During The Prayer Breakfast at IBS, we were honored to present the McGraw family with our most prestigious award – The Bigelow Award. Voted on by our board of directors, The Bigelow Award is reserved for partners who meet a strict set of criteria and who exemplify our organizational values of faithfulness, perseverance, honesty, and creativity.  

And with their most recent donation of $125,000 they have crossed over one million dollars in lifetime giving and will be receiving our newly minted Brooks Award for Excellence in Homebuilding and Philanthropy! Please join us in congratulating the McGraw family and their team at Eastbrook Homes. 

Eastbrook Homes has built over 12,000 homes during its 58+ years in business, creating countless new home opportunities for people living in West Michigan and the Greater Lansing area. Family-owned and locally operated, Eastbrook Homes continues to be a leader in the region’s home building industry and is proud to set the tone for meaningful community connections through our longstanding philanthropy work.  

Mick McGraw began at Eastbrook Homes in 1986 as the President of the company, eventually becoming the CEO in 1994. After developing the largest master planned community in West Michigan at the time, Bailey’s Grove, Mick helped put Eastbrook’s name on the map. Mick now manages Eastbrook Homes with his two sons, Michael McGraw and Josh McGraw. Michael McGraw is Eastbrook’s President and focuses on land acquisition and developing new communities. Josh McGraw is VP of Sales and Marketing and focuses on empowering and supporting the sales and marketing teams with their goals and initiatives. Together, they make up the leading force of Eastbrook Homes and are passionate about creating more robust housing opportunities for people living in West Michigan and the Greater Lansing area.
