MI Neighborhood (MIN) is a blend of state (HCDF) and federal funding (CDBG) in response to regional action plans and is in strategic alignment with the Statewide Housing Plan. Program funding is used for housing rehabilitation and creation of new housing units. Resources are targeted to the needs of the specific community, intended to impact a neighborhood and/or provide a regional benefit.
The intent of the occupied rehabilitation funding is to preserve existing housing stock. These activities range from smaller scale energy efficiency or accessibility improvements to substantial rehabilitation.
The intent of the new unit funding is to help communities that are actively working to address housing shortages. These activities range from construction of single-family for sale and/or rental housing to redevelopment of vacant residential units.
Nonprofit Organization 501(c): A nonprofit organization that is currently servicing the proposed community/neighborhood within the state of Michigan. A public or private nonprofit organization must be organized to aid persons and families of low or moderate income. The applicant must have at least one full-time employee, cannot operate the agency via their principal residence, and must provide a projected sustainable operating budget through fiscal year 2026, not including MSHDA funded projects.
Unit of General Local Government: A city village, township, county, or any intergovernmental, metropolitan, or local department, agency, or authority, or other local political subdivision. MI Neighborhood CDBG funds cannot be used in entitlement communities.
For-Profit Developer: An organization that is working within the State of Michigan with LARA articles of incorporation, an Employee Identification Number (EIN) from IRS, and Sam.gov number (UEI).
Individuals are not eligible to directly apply for MI Neighborhood grants. Individuals would need to apply for help through the MI Neighborhood grantees within 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. (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.
