The Michigan 9% Atlas: milestones in order, each with one line of executive truth and its guide
The Michigan Atlas as a reader sees it: the milestones in order; each opens to its guide.
The pathway

12 milestones, from site to Form 8609.

Each milestone opens to its tasks, each task to its actions and the proof package it must produce. One line of each milestone's executive truth, as the edition reads today.

  1. Site Control & DiligenceThis stage decides whether the selected Michigan property can carry the planned housing into the funding round.
  2. PredevelopmentPredevelopment decides whether Michigan's resident promise can survive contact with the site, design and financial plan.
  3. Funding Round Application Assembly & SubmissionFunding Round Application Assembly & Submission decides whether the Michigan project is presented as one coherent filing rather than several parallel stories.
  4. Award, Reservation & CommitmentThis stage turns a Michigan credit award into a commitment record the next team can trust.
  5. Carryover Allocation & Ten Percent TestThis stage preserves the Michigan credit by turning the carryover clock and cost test into one reproducible submission.
  6. Construction Financing Closing & StartThis stage turns an approved Michigan transaction into a funded project that can support work in the field.
  7. Construction ReportingConstruction Reporting is the quarterly discipline that keeps the Michigan State Housing Development Authority informed while work is underway.
  8. Placed in Service / Lease-UpThis stage turns finished Michigan buildings into supported operating housing and a defensible first-year credit position.
  9. Cost Certification, Form 8609 & Final AllocationThis stage turns a completed Michigan development into the final cost, basis, and election record used for allocation and Form 8609 issuance.
  10. Compliance Onset & First-Year CertificationThis stage turns first occupancy into a defensible first compliance year.
  11. Compliance Operations CurrentThis stage keeps an occupied Michigan development compliant after first-year certification by making annual work agree with daily operations.
  12. Extended Use & DispositionExtended Use & Disposition is where Michigan's affordability promise either proves durable or breaks under a change in ownership, operation, or use.
Inside the edition

The guide, the Gantt and the calendar.

01

The guide

Every milestone, task, action, proof package and document of the Michigan 9% deal, written to be read, not recited — what this task validates, why it matters, where it sits, what “done” looks like, the watchouts, and the requirement it comes from.

02

The Gantt

The deal in time: how long the work takes, and which waits sit with the agency, the lender or the municipality, not with you. A gate closes every milestone, and the Gantt shows what the gate needs before it opens.

03

The calendar

Michigan's clocks — what starts each one, how long it runs, the condition it depends on and where the rule is written. The ones that decide a round, a reservation, a carryover, a placed-in-service date.

Who it is for

Developers, consultants and counsel who are responsible for knowing what a Michigan 9% deal requires, and for being right about it. If a new project manager could run your next application from it without asking you twice, it did its job.

An edition is one state and one program. It is read on the web, signed in; it is not a PDF. $500 a year per edition, renews until cancelled; your subscription carries every update.
