About MSHDA
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), established in 1966, provides financial and technical assistance through public and private partnerships to create and preserve safe and decent affordable housing, engage in community economic development activities, develop vibrant cities, towns and villages, and address homeless issues.
MSHDA's loans and operating expenses are financed through the sale of tax-exempt and taxable bonds and notes to private investors, not from state tax revenues. Proceeds of the bonds and notes are loaned at below-market interest rates to developers of rental housing, and also fund home mortgages and home improvement loans. MSHDA also administers various federal housing programs.
Neighborhood Development Division
Purpose Statement
The Neighborhood Development Division (NDD) provides affordable housing solutions and opportunities to Michigan residents, neighborhoods and partners. Neighborhoods are a defined, community-based residential area where people live and share amenities and resources.
Our current programs include MI Neighborhood, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and MSHDA MOD. Our legacy programs include Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP), Small Scale Housing Rental Program (SHRP), Michigan Housing Opportunities Promoting Energy-Efficiency (MI-HOPE), and MSHDA Investing in Community Housing (MICH). These programs have been discontinued and have been rolled in the MI Neighborhood Program.
What is the MI Neighborhood Program?
MI Neighborhood (MIN) uses money from state (HCDF) and federal (CDBG) funds to support local housing needs. These grants help repair existing homes and build new affordable housing. Each community can use the money in ways that best meet its needs, either to improve a neighborhood or support larger regional goals.
The goal of the occupied rehabilitation funds is to keep current homes safe and in good condition. This home repair program can include small and large home repairs and updates for energy efficiency and accessibility.
The goal of the new unit funds is to help communities create more homes. This affordable housing program can include building new single‑family homes, small rental housing projects, and fixing empty homes.
