Houghton County Granted $222,200 for Downtown Rehabilitation

Calumet Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) Executive Director Keith Molin recently announced funding for $222,200 for downtown rental rehabilitation in Calumet Village. The funding for this project is available through HOME Targeted Revitalization Fund and will be administered by MSHDA's office of Community Development.

"The pride of Michigan is represented by each of our communities," said Molin. "The funding provided through these grants will allow communities like Calumet to grow and thrive and create new economic and job opportunities."

Calumet Village will use grant funds for downtown rental rehabilitation. Calumet Village will rehabilitate twelve (12) units within their Michigan Main Street target area. The village is also in the Keweenaw National Historical Park area.

MSHDA's vision in the 21st century is to improve the quality of life for all Michigan residents and create vibrant communities by focusing on providing safe, affordable housing through homeownership and rental programs; ending homelessness; and revitalizing neighborhoods and downtowns. 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.
