What Michigan’s pages say

MiHER help center: 'To keep MiHER funds balanced across Michigan and within each district's funding limits, the Program has temporarily paused new income-qualified applications in the districts listed below. All other districts remain open for new applications.' Applications submitted before a district's pause continue to be reviewed. EGLE aims to fund upgrades in about 15,000 homes; applications currently open only to low- and moderate-income households. Launch date not stated on the pages reviewed; the Building Performance Association's June 2026 map counts Michigan as launched. The consumer site still lists 'switching from gas to electric appliances' as an eligible project type and does not describe changes for DOE Program Notice 26-2.

The Building Performance Association's June 2026 map, a trade-group source and the only national list since DOE stopped publishing one, lists Michigan as “Applied & Rebates Available (launched)”.
