Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Habitat for Humanity of Michigan works to support affiliates throughout the State of Michigan to provide access to safe and affordable homes. The issues we aim to address are: lack of affordable housing, unsafe or unhealthy existing houses, lack of access to traditional financial resources (i.e. traditional loans or mortgages), and readiness for homeownership (i.e. budgeting and financial education).

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Prison Build Program

The Prison Build Program is supported by Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to provide Habitat for Humanity families with high quality, handcrafted products at a subsidized cost.
Through unique partnership with Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC), prisoners develop skills that they can utilize when they re-enter society.

Population(s) Served

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) DPA Forgivable Loan Program helps homebuyers improve their ability to qualify for
mortgage financing by providing up to $12,000 to cover down payment, prepaid expenses, closing costs, and principal reduction and up to $350 reimbursement for certified pre-purchase homebuyer education.

Population(s) Served

HFHM’s Housing Counseling and Financial Education Program is certified by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We help consumers in Michigan who wish to stabilize their housing and/or become more financially capable. Habitat Affiliates who
choose to partner with HFHM use these services to help locate and engage with potential partners that are working towards mortgage readiness. Through HFHM’s partnership with NeighborWorks, Affiliates may work on their own counseling and coaching certifications.
These certifications enable knowledge about best practices in the housing counseling industry, and may help Affiliates eventually deliver services directly.

Population(s) Served

This program, in partnership with Consumers Energy and Michigan State Housing Development Authority, takes a holistic and comprehensive “whole-house” critical path approach to address the most fundamental and crucial home repair needs. A general evaluation of the occupant(s) well-being and a full
assessment of the house and systems will identify and prioritize the issues that will be addressed in an order of importance and urgency. Most Important and urgent repair priorities:
• Safety | immediate threats of harm or death to family
• Health | threats that will cause harm or death to family with time.

Population(s) Served

The Habitat for Humanity of Michigan Sustainable Housing Program serves Michigan Habitat for Humanity affiliates with education, training, and assistance in many areas of affordable housing development. With support from the DTE Energy Foundation, this program helps Michigan affiliates build, renovate, and repair homes
that are safe, healthy, durable, accessible, and energy efficient.

- Pre-purchase Housing Counseling

We have highly qualified staff managing programs to help low-income Michigan residents achieve their financial goals, whether that be homeownership or financial security. Through our sustainable building programs, we help train affiliates to build safer, healthier, more energy efficient homes.
