Jackson, Michigan: 100 Homes Development Program
The City of Jackson will provide $25,000 in down-payment assistance per home. Applicants are also encouraged to apply for an additional $10,000 of down payment assistance through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
About the Homes
A mixture of one and two-story homes will be constructed, matching the overall neighborhood fabric of their locations. Two-story homes will have three (3) bedrooms and one-and-one-half (1.5) bathrooms. One-story homes will have two (2) bedrooms and one-and-one-half (1.5) bathrooms. All homes will also have a detached shed for storage, concrete driveway, full basement, front porch, full kitchen appliance package, and central heat AND air conditioning. Visitable/accessible homes are also available. The sales price of homes in this program is $178,000. This is a pre-negotiated price and will not decrease. Should a buyer elect to include certain builder upgrades (to be determined between the builder and buyer), this price may increase.
There are currently three housing types available for the program. Photos and plans of the housing types are provided on this page. Norfolk Homes: Colonial Plan (PDF)

Applicants will FIRST complete all City of Jackson application requirements. Once completed (including the submission of all required documents), applicants will THEN apply for a mortgage with the mortgage lender of their choice. Construction of a participant’s home will begin once they are pre-approved for a mortgage.

Households earning 120% or less of the area median income (AMI) can qualify for both the City of Jackson $25,000 down payment assistance AND the MSHDA $10,000 down payment assistance (shown in Table 2).
