Where’s the Chicago requirement? Here are “the details” from your link:
> Up to $15,000 forgivable grant with the purchase of a new home with a cost of at least $200,000
> Not current Michigan resident
Must purchase a home in zip codes 49022, 49085, 49106, 49103, 49127
> Must be considered a fulltime Michigan resident (obtain Michigan driver’s license and claim Michigan home as primary residence)
> Must prove full-time employment and are working remotely for a company outside of Southwest Michigan
> Consider volunteering on a non-profit board, in local schools or participating in a civic organization in Berrien County
> $5,000 forgiven after each year of residency
Those zip codes are for Benton Harbor / St. Joseph. If you like the beach (Lake Michigan is practically a freshwater ocean), it’s not a half bad area. First time homebuyer programs like this are nice, because the down payment is a huge hurdle for people.
If you want free college for your kids (value >> $15K), then take a look at Kalamazoo: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalamazoo_Promise https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalamazoo_Promise
