MICH LOGO

The MSHDA Investing in Community Housing (MICH) Program will utilize United States Department of the Treasury American Rescue Plan (ARP) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) as a grant mechanism within MSHDA's Neighborhood Housing Initiatives Division (NHID). This funding will be made available statewide based on a formal subrecipient award structure. MICH will provide occupied single family home rehabilitation, limited to energy-efficiency and accessibility activities.  Funding is restricted to provide assistance to households at or below 185% Federal Poverty Guidelines and is subject to availability of funding and regional distribution of resources.

Each subrecipient agency may elect to collect additional documentation at their discretion.
