About This Program in Michigan

In Detroit, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Detroit Housing Commission (DHC). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a DHC property or with a voucher used in private housing.

How to Apply in Michigan

Apply through DHC at dhcmi.org using its applicant portal when waitlists are open. As of April 2, 2025, Michigan bans source-of-income discrimination statewide (Senate Bills 205-207), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher — though landlords owning five or fewer units are generally exempt. Call DHC at (313) 877-8000 for current waitlist status.
