  Wayne County Treasurer’s Office helps hundreds keep their homes by using Federal Aid

DETROIT, MI - More than $2 million in federal rescue fund money administered by the state has been used to pay delinquent property taxes for more than 550 Wayne County residents, Wayne County Treasurer Eric Sabree announced on Monday, August 16, 2022.

More aid, which came through the Michigan Homeowner Assistance Fund (MIHAF), is still available to residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and can be used for other needs, such as mortgage or utility payments.

Wayne County Treasurer Sabree said, “MIHAF is one of the avenues that we are steering residents toward as we continue to look for ways to help more families and individuals stay in their homes”. “This support is a significant source of funding for residents who were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we want people to access those resources.”

In addition to the 550 individuals whose applications were approved for MIHAF funding for property taxes, 981 people had their homes removed from the foreclosure process once they notified the Treasurer’s Office that they’d submitted their MIHAF applications.

To qualify for MIHAF, applicants must have experienced a financial hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic after January 21, 2020, or had a qualified hardship that began before that date and continued afterward. There are income eligibility requirements, and the property must be owner-occupied. The maximum amount of assistance per household is $25,000.

If you apply for the MIHAF funds, please forward a copy of your application’s verification via email with your name, property address and parcel identification number, and your MIHAF confirmation number to: MIHAF.WCTO@waynecounty.com.

The Wayne County Treasurer’s Office has several options to help residents stay in their homes, including financial hardship extensions and other payment plans.
