Description
MI Neighborhood is administered by MSHDA’s Neighborhood Development Division using state Housing and Community Development Fund and federal Community Development Block Grant resources. MIN 4.0 provides up to $30 million in HCDF funding, distributed statewide through 15 regional housing partnerships. Investments support regional action plans and the Statewide Housing Plan, with flexibility to address neighborhood needs or provide regional benefits.
The program preserves existing homeowner housing through repairs, energy-efficiency improvements, and accessibility work, while addressing housing shortages through new construction and rehabilitation of vacant homes. New-unit activities include single-family for-sale housing, rental housing, and residential floors within vacant mixed-use buildings. MIN 4.0 does not fund occupied rental rehabilitation. Innovative building systems, including modular and panelized construction, are encouraged where they reduce costs while maintaining quality.
