The City of Jackson, in partnership with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), will construct FOUR (4) homes as part of the MSHDA "MICH" grant program. Applications will be considered from households with at least one disabled family member, and the completed homes will be provided to income-qualified households free-of-charge. Households will be selected based on their completed application and overall program qualification, a points-based scoring system, and a lottery (if needed). All homes must be occupied as a primary residence. The MSHDA Investing in Community Housing (MICH) Program provides funding for new visitable homes in pre-selected neighborhoods within the City of Jackson. The program is designed to provide long-term housing security and housing supports to provide impacted and disproportionately impacted communities with services to address the negative economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Qualifying households must meet certain income & asset requirements, must qualify for at least one federal benefit program, and must have experienced a hardship as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic (see application for details). The MICH homes are currently under construction, with an expected completion date of December 31, 2025.
