| Eligible Projects - Michigan's Housing &
Community Development Fund |

 In 2007, the Michigan Legislature
appropriated $2.2 million in general funds to support
Michigan's Housing and Community Development Fund, a flexible
source of funding to assist local communities create housing
options in neighborhoods and downtowns and address community
needs. It
is anticipated that MSHDA will release a NOFA and allocation
plan for these funds by April 2008.
To
assist in our efforts to demonstrate need and secure more
funds for 2009, the Living in Michigan Coalition
is developing a pipeline of eligible
projects.
THIS
IS NOT AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING but rather will help
expedite the flow of funds and make the case for additional
funds in coming years.
