Michigan Housing Opportunities Promoting Energy-Efficiency (MI-HOPE) – City of Three Rivers

How it works

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) administers the Michigan Housing Opportunities Promoting Energy-Efficiency Program (MI-HOPE) through local nonprofit agencies and government agencies. On this page, the City of Three Rivers says it was selected to receive a $150,000 grant from MSHDA to help income-qualified homeowners make energy-efficient improvements, and the city added another $50,000 from its General Fund. That brings total available funding to $200,000.

What the money covers

The page lists the following eligible improvement categories:

• roof work
• storm doors and exterior windows
• windows
• insulation
• furnaces and ventilation systems
• water heater upgrades
• exterior security lighting
• appliance upgrades, including stoves and refrigerators
• electrical upgrades or replacements, including wiring

The page does not give a per-home maximum award amount or a household income limit on the page itself, and it directs readers to linked fact sheets and grant guidelines for complete program details.

Amounts and matching

The official page states only the total funding available for the city program: $200,000. It also notes that funds from one federal program may not be used by a recipient to meet the non-federal match or cost-share requirements of another federal program. No matching percentage or household cap is stated on the page.

How to apply

The page points applicants to two linked documents for full instructions:

• MI-HOPE Phase 1 Fact Sheet
• Grant Guidelines, Requirements, and Application Process

Those linked documents are not reproduced on the page, so this page itself does not provide the application form, required documents, or submission steps.

Timing and deadlines

The page says MI-HOPE is administered starting November 1, 2022. It does not state an end date, application deadline, or whether funding remains available on a first-come basis.
