What is the Homeowner Assistance Fund? The Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) was established under section 3206 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the ARP) to mitigate financial hardships associated with the coronavirus pandemic by providing funds to eligible entities for the purpose of preventing homeowner mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, loss of utilities or home energy services, and displacements of homeowners experiencing financial hardship after January 21, 2020 through qualified expenses related to mortgages and housing.
How is Michigan going to distribute the funds to households in need? Michigan has designated the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (the Authority or MSHDA) as the operating agency to set up the Michigan Housing Assistance Fund (MIHAF) program in accordance with the guidance provided by the Treasury. MSHDA intends to launch the MIHAF program to the public on February 14, 2022. An on-line and mobile application portal has been set up. Applicants will be able to apply and submit required documentation through the web-based application or may be assisted by a third-party counseling agency or legal aid office. We have partnered with Michigan 2-1-1, a Michigan non-profit organization, to serve as our statewide call center support to answer questions, provide program detail and assist homeowners with submitting their applications. Customer Service can be reached at 844-756-4423, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
