The Michigan Homeowner Assistance Nonprofit Housing Corporation (MHA) acting through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) received $498.6 million in federal funds from the U.S. Department of Treasury. The funds are being used to help Michigan take a step forward through a comprehensive, statewide strategy that is aimed to help homeowners who are at high risk of default or foreclosure.
|
Through A Step Forward, MHA designed forgivable loan programs to help homeowners who have had a financial hardship that include:
|
- Mortgage payment assistance for homeowners currently receiving unemployment compensation
- Rescue funds for homeowners who have fallen behind in their mortgage payments due to no fault of their own and who have overcome this obstacle
- Federal matching funds for principal reductions for homeowners who can no longer afford their mortgage payments as a result of reduced income
