There has been an increase in people calling for rental assistance in different states. Michigan has taken some steps in mitigating that situation.
Grants to Michigan low-income individuals in eligible areas who need financial assistance to pay a mortgage or rent due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) health crisis. Applicants must contact the Funding Source prior to submitting an application. Eligible individuals must reside in East Lansing.
The City of East Lansing has allocated CDBG-CV funds to provide emergency support to income eligible East Lansing residents to the issuance of rent or mortgage payments to persons experiencing financial hardships as a direct result of COVID-19.
Direct payments will be made to the landlord or property manager or mortgage company on the applicant’s behalf. No payments will be made directly to the applicant.
- Rent payment (includes land contract payments, mobile home lot rent, late fees, court costs)
- Mortgage payment and/or association fees
The program pays up to one-month rent and mortgage payments, with the possibility to apply for an additional two-months, to prevent eviction, foreclosure, missed payment and/or late fees.
