Federal home energy programs in Michigan: status and dates
Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER: HOMES and HEAR)
federal rebate (state-run)
Status: available statewide; income-qualified applications paused in 5 EGLE districts
EGLE's MiHER page lists HOMES and HEAR rebate pathways and a temporary suspension: new income-qualified applications for properties in the EGLE Detroit, Warren, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Kalamazoo districts are unavailable while MiHER reviews current applications and funding capacity, and will reopen when sufficient capacity and funding are available. HEAR is for households at or below 150% of area median income. Michigan received $105.7 million for HOMES and $105.3 million for HEAR. Eligible work must be done by an approved MiHER registered contractor. Renters may qualify for certain rebates with landlord participation. Call center 855-510-7080.
Not confirmed or worth knowing: The page does not state a launch date or when the paused districts will reopen: status of those districts beyond the pause notice is not confirmed.
