Lansing, Mich. – Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) have launched the Michigan Housing Opportunities Promoting Energy Efficiency (MI-HOPE) program, awarding ten million dollars to local governments and nonprofit organizations throughout the state for energy-efficiency focused housing repairs and upgrades. The program is currently accepting applications.  
  
"We are taking action to lower energy costs for Michiganders by funding $10 million of home repairs and energy-efficiency upgrades," said Governor Whitmer. "The MI-HOPE program puts more money in Michiganders’ pockets, revitalizes housing, and helps our state meet its clean energy goals. The repairs and upgrades funded by this program can be used on a wide range of home changes, including roof repair, insulation, or heating/cooling system installation. Let’s keep working together to lower costs and make our homes more comfortable and efficient.”   


MI-HOPE, a program to help local governments and nonprofits improve local housing, lower energy costs for families, and reduce their community’s carbon footprint, will provide up to $28.5 million statewide through competitive funding rounds. The program uses federal funds from the American Rescue Plan to help homeowners undertake repairs and upgrades to enhance energy efficiency. Eligible assisted activities include roof repair or replacement, insulation, modification or replacement of heating/cooling systems and more.  
  
The organizations receiving funds and award amounts are: ​

"The MI-HOPE program will invoke positive change and improve living conditions for Michiganders across the state," said Tonya Joy, Neighborhood Housing Initiatives Division director. “Making energy-efficient home repairs will help people save money on costs like heating and cooling, giving them more breathing room to put food on the table, purchase school supplies for their kids and many other necessary home and lifestyle purchases.” 
 
The second round of funding will be announced in spring 2023. All MI-HOPE program-financed activities will provide specific and necessary health and safety improvements to existing structures. 501(c) nonprofit agencies and local governments are eligible to apply for MI-HOPE assistance, with award determinations based on competitive funding rounds and subsequent obligation and expenditure performance.
