High impact, quick-turn projects are underway all over the state with support from Michigan State Housing Development Authority Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP) grants. MSHDA recently awarded 37 NEP grants to local governments and nonprofit groups across Michigan to launch improvement projects directly tied to enhancing and stabilizing communities.
“These grants are awarded to local groups with innovative ideas that address specific needs in their neighborhoods,” said Gary Heidel, Acting Executive Director of MSHDA. “The projects selected for grants are highly visible, housing-oriented opportunities that will improve the quality of life for the people living in these communities.”
NEP grants require that the projects and activities align with one or more of three core components, including: housing enhancements; neighborhood beautification; and/or neighborhood public amenity enhancements. Funded projects should be completed by the end of the year and make a noticeable difference within the community.
The goal of this funding is to help – and eventually showcase – model Michigan neighborhoods where residents are engaged and facilitating change
