Built for the people who keep things running.

Teachers, nurses, tradespeople, first responders — Michigan's workforce keeps everything moving. They deserve a home that reflects that.
Who it's for

A real home, at a price that works for you.

This program is designed for households that earn too much for traditional subsidized housing, but too little to comfortably afford market-rate rent — what's often called the "missing middle." Eligibility is based on household income only — not your occupation or employer. If your income falls within the AMI guidelines for your area, you qualify.
