Rural cooperative development initiative grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Housing Service awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to Habitat for Humanity of Michigan (HFHM) under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). The grant funding will be used by HFHM to construct or renovate facilities providing essential services to rural Michigan communities. HFHM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides training, support, and capacity building to over 60 Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the state. HFHM has previously received multiple grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support housing rehabilitation, accessibility modifications, and lead-based paint hazard control projects. As a sub-awardee, HFHM has also partnered with the National Community Reinvestment Coalition to deliver comprehensive housing counseling services to veterans and low-income individuals under HUD grants.
