  10. NEP Round 4 was focused on Rural What does this mean? Competition is based on an area’s population size. “Same size communities compete for funding with same size communities.” Funding set-aside for communities based on population. Total allocation is reserved to communities less than 50,000 in population. Awards for over 50,000 in population restricted to nonprofits agencies.

  18. “What is being offered by the State of Michigan to rural communities for affordable single family new construction at this time? MSHDA MOD

  19. $1.96 Million Dollar Pilot Program What are we looking for? This program is designed for the construction of a spec modular home to provide homebuyers another homeownership option at a price point below $200,000 which is not currently readily available in the area.

  20. $196,000 per community up to 10 communities will be selected. Activities Funded: New Construction, Delivery, Assembly, Installation, Site Preparation and related costs. There is a 15% Developer Fee provision MSHDA requires that all investment be repaid in full plus 3% interest (if proceeds allow) upon sale of the spec model.

  21. MSHDA Mod is designed for... • Communities that are interested and currently have or are anticipating having a housing shortage in their area due to economic growth tied to area employers. • Areas that are experiencing increased workforce housing needs and have support from employers.

  22. MSHDA Mod is not designed for… • Assisting communities that are experiencing a decline in the workforce. • Communities that are not supportive of modular construction. • Communities that do not have a housing market that would enable the sale to be feasible.

  23. Previously the award steps were: • Request/Receive Materials • Hold Threshold Conf. Call • Present Proposal to Team • Reserve Funding • Complete PP & App On Matt 2.0 • Grant Agreement Executed • Note: If your community is currently • on our MSHDA Mod interested parties • list and will have completed all steps • prior to May 31stthen the award • process will not change. How did this work?

  24. As of today, we are modifying • the MSHDA Mod selection process to: • Access Materials via Website • June 3rd – complete/submit a Letter of Interest/Threshold Info. • July 8th - Team determines recipients • **May involve site visits/conf. calls • July: Training Sessions on System and Compliance • August 15th – PP & App Completed • Sept. 30th –Grant Agreements Executed What is the process?

  25. How is this funding different? MSHDA is paying for the first modular spec model in full. Communities have 5 years to sell the spec model. This is structured as a repayable grant.

  26. Staffing The MSHDA Mod Program’s champion is our newest staff person Ann Grambau.
