Due to the National Mortgage Settlement, Michigan received $97.2 million for the purpose of creating the Homeowner Protection Fund and has created 2 new programs for the mortgage industry.
1. HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE – $15 million has been allocated for the Homebuyer Assistance grant program that will assist first-time homebuyers purchasing a single-family/one-unit, owner occupied, principal residence.

Non-military homebuyers are eligible for grants up to $3000. Active military and veterans are eligible for up to $5000. Neither grant can exceed 25% of the purchase price. Grant funds may be used with any first lien mortgage transactions and can be combined with MSHDA’s Down Payment Assistance.
