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 indepen-
dently. To be released from rental agreements under these circumstances, a notarized
statement from a physician is necessary.
