Middle Income Housing Program (MHIP)

The Middle Income Housing Program (MHIP) provides supplemental funding to developments that include a component of units that will be occupied by households earning up to 130 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). Resources will go to projects in areas that serve three goals: housing opportunity, revitalization, and stabilization. Outside of a Qualified Census Tract (QCT), a project must be able to achieve rents that are affordable to households with incomes of up to 80 percent AMI in order to access MIHP. Middle Income Housing Program is offered two New York State Homes and Community Renewal (NYS HCR) programs: New Construction Program (NCP) and Supportive Housing Opportunity Program (SHOP). In New York City, Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, projects can receive up to $140,000 per housing unit with a household income limit above 60 percent AMI and up to 130 percent AMI. In the rest of state, projects can receive up to $95,000 per housing unit with a household income limit above 60 percent AMI and up to 130 percent AMI.
