Michigan Homeowner Assistance Fund Reaches Application Limit, Deadline Imminent

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) has declared an imminent closure for applications through the Michigan Homeowner Assistance Fund (MIHAF) program due to an overwhelming surge in submissions. The MIHAF online portal is set to halt new applications on Friday, December 8th, at midnight.

Prompted by homeowner-related delinquencies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Michiganders are urged to swiftly apply for potential aid. Applications submitted before the deadline will be processed until funds are exhausted, with updates available through the application portal.

Launched in February 2022, the MIHAF program has been a pivotal support system, disbursing over $200 million statewide, benefiting more than 26,000 households with an average of $7,600 per recipient. 

For more information, call MIHAF customer service at: 1(844) 756-4423 or by emailing MSHDA-HO-HAF-Program@michigan.gov.
