MSHDA's Neighborhood Development Division (NDD) allocates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the MI Neighborhood Program. This grant funding is provided to non-entitlement units of general local government—including cities, towns, townships, villages, and counties that do not receive direct CDBG allocations from HUD (see CDBG Municipalities Map to determine eligibility)
Letter of Intent Process to Reserve MI Neighborhood CDBG Funds – 4th Round
MSHDA is pleased to announce the availability of $30 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. Click the CDBG Regional Reservation Table to view available amounts by Region.
MSHDA is currently accepting LOI for funding from eligible Units of General Local Government (UGLG) for proposals that meet the housing objectives of the CDBG Program. Submitted letters will be used to establish eligible projects. If eligible, your UGLG will be invited to a consultation to assess project readiness. If the project is determined to be viable, funding will be reserved in the order letters of intent are received. You will then receive a funding designation memo and have up to 120 days to refine your proposal, complete public participation requirements, and submit a full MI Neighborhood CDBG application.

About The Third-Party Administrator Interested Party List
MSHDA has formally identified firms that are interested in providing Third Party Administration (TPA) services for MI Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Fund (HCDF) and/or Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. (List)
This list was compiled in response to local agency requests for assistance in identifying firms that provide program administration services in their region (regional map). MSHDA does not vet, certify, or endorse any firm on this list. Inclusion on the list does not imply approval or recommendation by MSHDA. Grantees are not required to select a TPA from this list and may administer the grant independently. The TPA list is intended to serve as a reference resource for grantees by identifying firms that operate in their area and may provide these services. Regardless of utilization of a TPA, Grantees are solely responsible for conducting their own procurement process in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements and verifying the qualifications, capacity, and responsiveness of any selected TPA.
