MSHDA CHILL Program – $10 Million Funding Opportunity

Up to $10 Million in Funding Available for

CDBG Housing Improving Local Livability (CHILL) Program

Round 2 Letters of Intent Due Monday, December 11, 2023

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) is pleased to announce the availability of $10 million in funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for the creation of housing programs that benefit low- and moderate-income households.  MSHDA’s CDBG Housing Improving Local Livability (CHILL) Program is looking to provide another round of grants to non-entitlement units of general local government—cities, towns, townships, villages, or counties not currently receiving a direct allocation of CDBG funds from HUD. Two activity types are eligible for funding: Homeowner improvement rehabilitation to preserve affordable housing units; and demolition reconstruction resale to remove blight and create single-family housing for resale to income eligible homebuyers.

MSHDA is currently accepting Letters of Intent (LOI) for Round 2 of the funding from eligible Units of General Local Government (UGLG) for proposals that meet the objectives of the CHILL Program.  The letters will be used to establish a pool of eligible applicants, who will then be asked to complete a full application.  Application approval and awards will be made via a competitive process. To be considered for funding, please submit a LOI by completing the forms and uploading requested documents at the CDBG CHILL Round 2 webpage no later than Monday, December 11, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Please submit questions to MSHDA-CDBG@michigan.gov

Please consider sharing this notice of funding availability with any member of your team who is more involved in homeowner rehabilitation or demolition/reconstruction/resale activities.
