Income limits are the maximum income a household can earn to qualify for MSHDA programs. These limits vary based on the number of people in the household and the property’s location. There are different limits for targeted and non-targeted areas:
Income limits are influenced by the area median income (AMI) and are adjusted annually to reflect changes in the cost of living and housing market trends. Income limits ensure that MSHDA programs are accessible to those with the greatest need and that housing remains affordable for low and moderate-income families.
Sales price limits are the maximum prices for homes purchased using MSHDA’s assistance programs. These limits ensure that homes financed through MSHDA remain within reach for those who qualify. For 2024, the sales price limit across all areas in Michigan is $224,500.
