Jackson launches 100 homes program to provide new housing

The 100 Homes Program is launching from the City of Jackson Community Development Department after seven months of planning. The program intends to construct 100 single-family houses on vacant lots for qualifying homebuyers, along with providing down-payment assistance.

The City Council allocated $2.5 million in American Rescue Plan funds to the newly created 100 Homes Program in March 2023. There are three plans to choose from, a mix of one- and two-story houses, with up to three bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Home prices will be capped at $175,000. There are income requirements to qualify. The homes will be built in established neighborhoods all over the City of Jackson.

The City of Jackson is offering $25,000 in down payment assistance. Some buyers may also obtain an additional $10,000 in down payment assistance from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). 

The 100 Homes section at cityofjackson.org, guides participants through the application process. Prospective buyers will work with a mortgage lender of their choice. After a participant is pre-approved for a mortgage, construction will begin. Home selection and location will be determined in collaboration with builders and buyers.

Construction is expected to start in late 2023 and take place through 2026.
