Home Ownership Program
HomeStretch builds attractive high quality energy efficient homes with grants from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and low interest loans from other project partners. Upon completion, the homes are then sold to income eligible families and individuals. In general, the prospective homebuyer must live or work in one out of five service area counties, have an income that is equal to or less than 80% of the area median income, not currently be a homeowner, and qualify for a conventional mortgage. HomeStretch does not provide financing for home purchase. A 1% down payment is required.
