How Michigan Homebuyers Can Receive Up to $10,000 in Assistance

If you're planning to buy a home in Michigan and are concerned about upfront costs, you’re not alone. Down payments and closing costs can be major hurdles — especially for first-time and moderate-income buyers. That’s why Kind Lending is proud to offer access to the MI 10K Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Program through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).



What is the MI 10K DPA Program?

The MI 10K DPA Program is designed to help qualified homebuyers cover significant upfront costs, offering up to $10,000 that can be used toward:

  • Down payment
  • Closing costs
  • Prepaid expenses


This assistance comes in the form of a zero-interest loan with no monthly payments. Repayment is deferred until one of the following events occurs:

  • You sell the home
  • You refinance your mortgage
  • You pay off your first mortgage
  • The home is no longer your primary residence



Key Program Benefits

  • Up to $10,000 in assistance
  • Available statewide in Michigan
  • Must be used with a MSHDA MI Home Loan
  • No monthly payments required
  • Completion of a homebuyer education course is mandatory



Who is Eligible?

This program is geared toward low to moderate-income buyers who are purchasing a primary residence. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or someone re-entering the market, the MI 10K DPA program can help you take that next step with greater financial confidence.
