MI Neighborhood (MIN) uses money from state (HCDF) and federal (CDBG) funds to support local housing needs. These grants help repair existing homes and build new affordable housing. Each community can use the money in ways that best meet its needs, either to improve a neighborhood or support larger regional goals.
The goal of the occupied rehabilitation funds is to keep current homes safe and in good condition. This home repair program can include small and large home repairs and updates for energy efficiency and accessibility.
The goal of the new unit funds is to help communities create more homes. This affordable housing program can include building new single‑family homes, small rental housing projects, and fixing empty homes.
Nonprofit Organization (501(c)) must already be working in the community it wants to serve in Michigan. It must be set up to help people with low or moderate incomes. The nonprofit must have at least one full‑time employee, cannot run the organization out of someone’s home, and must show a sustainable budget through 2026.
Unit of General Local Government includes a city, village, township, county, or any local agency or authority. MI Neighborhood CDBG funds cannot be used in communities that already receive their own CDBG funding (entitlement communities).
For‑Profit Developers must be working in Michigan and have articles of incorporation filed with LARA, an IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN), and a Sam.gov Unique Entity ID (UEI).
Individuals cannot apply directly for MI Neighborhood grants. They must request help through the MI Neighborhood grantee in their community.

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.
