Q: What programs support access to childcare, so people can go to work?
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services provides childcare support to low-income families. These benefits can be found at Child Care Assistance (michigan.gov). The Good Housing = Good Health program and the Shelter Diversion Program provide supportive services to link to childcare resources.
Q: Why doesn’t local Public Housing Authorities have access to Key-To-Own funds?
The MSHDA Housing Choice Voucher Key-To-Own program is administered by MSHDA through funding provided by HUD. MSHDA submits requests of funding to continue and grow the MSHDA Key-To-Own program. If you are receiving a MSHDA Housing Choice Voucher and you are interested in homeownership, program information can be found at Key to Own Homeownership Program (michigan.gov).
Q: Can money be funded directly to counties to address local needs/projects?
The HCDF funding will go directly to 10 programs listed in the HCDF Allocation Plan.
Q: What steps are being taken to reach underserved communities with this programming?
HCDF has published minimal caps on regional investments throughout the state, ensuring funding is present in every Prosperity Region within the State of Michigan. Additionally, HCDF programs are required to carry out equity planning ensuring populations most impacted receive equitable access to HCDF services and resources.
The marketing and operations of the HCDF programs will be accessible based on Section 504 of the American Disabilities Act and provide translation services for limited English-speaking populations.
Q: Can you provide a list of properties requiring rehabilitation?
MSHDA does not manage a list of properties requiring rehabilitation. Interest in small scale accessible rehab programs can be directed to the HCDF Small Scale Housing Development Program. Another resource is the MSHDA Missing Middle program.
Q: What assistance will be provided to communities to promote programs, such as media toolkits for nonprofits?
HCDF programs will affirmatively market funding opportunities and services. Each program administrator will lead communication efforts that include GovDelivery email announcements, Notice of Funding Announcements, program guidelines and webinars. The HCDF website will provide information and weblinks to each HCDF program.
Q: What specific populations are you addressing? Is this about poverty or overall lack of housing?
Please see the HCDF Allocation Plan for the populations that will be served with this funding.
