MSHDA's Neighborhood Development Division (NDD) allocates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the MI Neighborhood Program. This grant funding is provided to non-entitlement units of general local government—including cities, towns, townships, villages, and counties that do not receive direct CDBG allocations from HUD (see CDBG Municipalities Map to determine eligibility)

About The Third-Party Administrator Interested Party List
MSHDA has formally identified firms that are interested in providing Third Party Administration (TPA) services for MI Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Fund (HCDF) and/or Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. (Third Party Administrator Interested Party List)
This list was compiled in response to local agency requests for assistance in identifying firms that provide program administration services in their region (regional map). MSHDA does not vet, certify, or endorse any firm on this list. Inclusion on the list does not imply approval or recommendation by MSHDA. Grantees are not required to select a TPA from this list and may administer the grant independently. The TPA list is intended to serve as a reference resource for grantees by identifying firms that operate in their area and may provide these services. Regardless of utilization of a TPA, Grantees are solely responsible for conducting their own procurement process in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements and verifying the qualifications, capacity, and responsiveness of any selected TPA.
The MSHDA RFQ for the Third-Party Administrators Interested Party form will reopen at 8 a.m. from 10/15/26 through 10/30/26. Only new applicants should complete a form. Individuals already included on the list should not submit a new form.
