MI Water Navigator is becoming MI Funding Hub
MI Water Navigator is evolving. We are transitioning our tools, resources, and services to MI Funding Hub. Don’t worry—the new site maintains the same ease of accessibility and functionality! We will accept final applications via MI Water Navigator through October 31, 2024. This will not include state revolving fund (SRF) assistance applications, however, we can help with SRF Intent to Apply forms. If you have an SRF application question or need help, find us over in the Hub and connect with our Helpdesk team. You can also find expanded funding opportunities for additional infrastructure projects in the Hub.

What is MI Water Navigator?

MI Water Navigator has been a free resource for municipalities and utilities to navigate and apply for state and federal infrastructure funding. Now, this resource is transitioning its tools and services to MI Funding Hub, joining expanded funding opportunities for additional infrastructure projects. 

We will continue to accept Helpdesk inquiries through October 31, 2024. This will not include state revolving fund (SRF) assistance applications; however, we can help with SRF Intent to Apply forms.
