Helping Michigan's Hardest-Hit Homeowners

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

Homeowners can apply directly for loan assistance at stepforwardmichigan.org. This web site is the fastest way for homeowners to submit an application.

For Servicers:
Additional foreclosure prevention help may also be available to homeowners. Please contact a Homeownership Counselor in your area or call 866.946.7432 to be directed to a counselor.
