Non-profit developer of affordable housing established to preserve and create high-quality affordable housing and improve the lives of residents through development, rehabilitation, management and community service.
Mht Housing Inc’s largest recent grant was a $740,317 award to Mht Housing IV Inc for general support, a signal that the foundation uses its own housing entities as part of its capital and operating structure. The foundation’s grantmaking is tied to affordable housing development and rehabilitation, with program-related investments and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and HUD program financing listed as active tools. That mix points to a funder focused on preserving and creating housing rather than a broad charitable grantmaker. Recent grants also show support for community-serving organizations connected to housing stability and resident life in Michigan. In Detroit, the foundation funded Detroit Catholic Pastoral Alliance, Cass Community Social Services, Neighborhood Service Organization, and Church of Messiah Housing Corporation. It also supported health, education, and neighborhood-serving institutions such as Beaumont Health Foundation, Detroit Cristo Rey High School, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Across those awards, the foundation appears to combine housing finance with direct grants for local nonprofits that serve low-income residents, students, and community members.
Affordable housing is the clearest through line. The foundation lists affordable housing development, senior housing, family housing, rehabilitation of existing housing, and new construction as focus areas, and it also uses LIHTC financing and HUD programs to support apartment community rehabilitation and gap financing. Its recent awards show additional community priorities around education and family support. Detroit Cristo Rey High School received $64,000 in 2023 and $23,000 in 2024 for tuition and other assistance, while Cristo Rey High School received $51,884 in 2025 for the same purpose. Early learning also appears in the grant list: YMCA in Detroit received $34,096 in 2023 for an early learning childcare center. The foundation also backs neighborhood improvements and human trafficking response. Emergency Response Services Inc received grants for neighborhood cleanup benefiting Benton Harbor and Detroit, and Ascension St John Foundation received awards for a human trafficking awareness and training program and a human trafficking endowment.
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range, with the 25th percentile at $10,145, a median of $15,000, and the 75th percentile at $25,750. The distribution includes a very large outlier to Mht Housing IV Inc, alongside many awards in the $10,000 to $25,000 band. Grants recur across years for some recipients, including Emergency Response Services Inc, Detroit Cristo Rey High School, Regina High School, St Patrick Catholic School, and Neighborhood Service Organization. The foundation is structured as a nonprofit housing developer, funds individuals does not, and it makes program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited requests for its active LIHTC and HUD-related housing program.
