The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) unveiled a new $282 million rental assistance program to help renters avoid eviction and hardships due to the ongoing pandemic while ensuring landlords are able to collect owed rent.
In addition to the $282 million made available by MSHDA, another $340 million has been made available by the state legislature for a combined total of $622 million.
The COVID Emergency Rental Assistance (CERA) program replaces the state s Eviction Diversion Program (EDP) which was launched in July 2020 by the MSHDA. Around 16,000 Michigan households were able to avoid eviction and get caught up on rent payments due to EDP.
