Hometown Housing Partnership works in partnership with the City of East Lansing, Michigan State University and several other organizations to offer homeownership assistance programs to people seeking to live in East Lansing. HHP is always researching new ideas and working to bring the best opportunities and assistance to potential homebuyers.

Homeownership Opportunity Assistance Program (HOAP)
HOAP offers down payment assistance, rehabilitation money and lead paint remediation for income qualified buyers. If you find a home in one of our four target neighborhoods, up to $25,000 per home is available to help you purchase it.

Avondale Square
Located in the Avondale section of the popular Bailey neighborhood, Avondale Square sits on the corner of Virginia Avenue and Burcham Road. This neotraditional housing project features beautiful, newly-constructed row-house-style condominiums and detached single family homes. Down payment assistance is available for income qualified buyers.

Employer Homeownership Opportunity Program (EHOP)
Funds available for city of East Lansing and Michigan State University employees. Please contact Michelle Reardon for more information. (map of EHOP neighborhoods in pdf format)

Home Purchase with Rehabilitation (HPR)
This program provides purchase and rehabilitation assistance for home buyers who are at or below 80% area median income ( AMI). These homes will be rehabilitated to Home Quality standards and will meet the requirements of the Michigan Residential Code. Other funding sources include private financing secured by the homebuyer.
