for seniors. Presbyterian Villages of Michigan, Henry Ford Health System, the Center for Senior Independence, and United Methodist Retirement Communities will dedicate the first model of
affordable assisted living in Detroit, Rivertown Neighborhood, on Friday, April 12, 2013. The grand

gardens. For information about the project call 248-281-2020 or slloyd@PVM.org.

Michigan Public Housing Authorities
To apply for public housing or Section 8 vouchers, visit your local public housing agency.
Many have long waiting lists, so you should apply at more than one housing agency. When
you see an "list-opening" announcement in your local paper or hear about one, BE SURE TO
GET TO THE AGENCY EARLY AND ON THE APPOINTED DAY--and bring the required documents
with you! There will be many people there to also apply and you don't want to be left out because
you are not prepared!
To apply for other low-income housing programs at privately owned apartments, visit the management office of the apartment building. Many complexes that are not normally "low-income" DO set aside
some apartments for those on limited incomes!
NOTE!
Michigan law allows low-income senior citizens to terminate rental agreements if they qualify and
are offered the opportunity for subsidized senior housing. Tenants who qualify must have occupied
their rental unit for more than 13 months and must provide a 60-day written notice. The law also
applies to tenants who can no longer live independently . To be released from rental agreements
under these circumstances, a notarized statement from a physician is necessary.
