LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) has awarded more than $5.5 million in grants to organizations across the state in the second round of funding for the Michigan Housing Opportunities Promoting Energy Efficiency program (MI-HOPE).

An extension of MSHDA’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program (NEP) — which funds innovative housing-oriented activities that address specific community needs — MI-HOPE is a program federally funded by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to help homeowners with home repairs and upgrades to enhance energy efficiency. By partnering with local government and nonprofit agencies, MI-HOPE supports Michigan households by facilitating home improvements, including roof and window replacement, HVAC modifications, electrical and appliance upgrades, storm-door installation, and more.

“MI-HOPE has brought energy-efficient upgrades and modifications to many Michigan homes already. We’re confident this funding will empower the grantees to expand the program even further and continue making a substantial impact for residents statewide,” said Amy Hovey, MSHDA executive director.

In this second round of funding, MSHDA awarded a total of $5,522,862 across 17 local agencies.
