Michigan State Housing Development Authority

Michigan State Housing Development Authority, doing business as M.S.H.D.A., is a U.S. state government entity and housing authority headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, that serves as a prime recipient of federal housing and homelessness-assistance grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. M.S.H.D.A. does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of grant awards administered as a pass-through entity and administrative recipient distributing HUD funds to sub-recipients and community service providers throughout Michigan.

M.S.H.D.A.'s grant portfolio centers on HUD homelessness-prevention and affordable-housing programs. The organization administers formula grants and project grants across six distinct program lines: the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems; the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), a $16.08 million formula grant effective through September 2034 supporting owner-occupied rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance; the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231), a $5.465 million award funding street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, and HMIS through September 2027; the Housing Trust Fund (CFDA 14.275), a $4.395 million award for production, preservation, and rehabilitation of rental housing for extremely low-income households; the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds FSS coordinator salaries for public housing and Housing Choice Voucher residents; the Section 811 Project Rental Assistance Program (CFDA 14.326) for supportive housing and rental assistance targeting persons with disabilities; the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (CFDA 14.276) for coordinated community approaches to youth homelessness; the Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.218), a formula grant supporting community development activities; and the Comprehensive Housing Counseling Program, providing pre-purchase counseling, foreclosure assistance, and housing education. Recent specific awards include a $1.14 million Continuum of Care award obligated June 2026 for statewide Homeless Management Information System implementation (sub-awarded to Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness), a $1.98 million Family Self-Sufficiency award dated January 2026 supporting one full-time FSS coordinator position serving at least 25 participating families, and a $577,643 Section 811 Project Rental Assistance cooperative agreement from December 2025 running through December 2045.

M.S.H.D.A. serves exclusively HUD, with concentration across three HUD sub-agencies: the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 175 awards (82% of the portfolio), the Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner holds 15 awards, and the Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 13 awards. The Department of the Interior National Park Service places nine awards (likely related to historic preservation or community development in park-adjacent areas). This concentration reflects M.S.H.D.A.'s role as Michigan's state administering entity for HUD formula programs. The organization has received 212 total awards across the source data period, with activity flat at 12–15 awards per year from 2022 through 2025 and declining to five awards in 2026 (a partial-year snapshot). Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating renewal or recompete cycles for M.S.H.D.A.'s recurring formula grants.
