Michigan Housing Stabilization Fund
Housing relief · Wayne County & Detroit
If your home is behind on property taxes in Detroit or Wayne County, a legal clock is already running — and the county's notices won't tell you what it really means. We will. In plain language, with every option on the table, including the ones that don't involve us.
Owners like you have walked away with $4,850 to $12,400 — cash, in about a week.

Every year in Wayne County, homes are lost to tax foreclosure that could have been saved — because the notices are confusing, the deadlines are quiet, and nobody explains the exits. Here is the honest version:
The hard deadline. Until then, the taxes can be paid and the foreclosure stops. After that, the property goes to auction — and the owner receives nothing.
What most owners receive after foreclosure — even when the county later sells the property for far more than the debt owed.
The first auction opens at the full amount owed. Later rounds sell homes for a fraction — to investors, not families.
Still open until the deadline. Paying it off, selling, or staying — the choice shrinks with the calendar, not before.
We're a buyer, and we'll still tell you the truth: for many owners, the cheapest way out doesn't involve selling at all.
Enter your address and see what's owed, where the foreclosure process stands, and what your realistic options are — with dates, not threats. It takes about a minute and costs nothing.

Use the free property check, or call or write us directly. No obligation, no sales pitch on the first call.
Every situation is different: which tax years are involved, what the deadlines are, and what each path actually costs you. Including the paths where we don't make a dime.
If you sell to the Fund, closing typically takes seven days — or longer if you need it to. If you stay through a leaseback, the terms are in plain-language writing before you sign anything.
Whatever path you choose, the goal is the same: the foreclosure ends and the stress ends with it.
The Michigan Housing Stabilization Fund is a housing nonprofit. Our work is keeping Michigan families anchored in their homes and neighborhoods — first in Detroit and Wayne County, where the foreclosure crisis has hit hardest.
We work alongside local and state partners — county treasurers, the City of Detroit, and Michigan's housing agencies — because the people best positioned to help a family stay in its home are the ones who already know the terrain.
We are not the county, not a debt collector, and not a law firm. We will never charge you a fee to find out where you stand.
