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.
