The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, formerly known as Section 8. The HCV Program subsidizes rent for income-qualified individuals through the Plymouth/Dearborn Heights Housing Commission.  Under HCV, the amount the tenant pays for rent and utilities will generally not exceed 30 percent of income.

The only time a person can apply for HCV Program is when a waiting list is open. A Legal Notice will be published in the Sunday edition of the Observer Newspapers and the Detroit News/Free Press announcing when the waiting list is scheduled to open.

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program waiting list is currently closed.

Section 8 Existing Housing Program is a federally funded program that provides money to help eligible individuals and families pay their rent. Families and elderly, handicapped or disabled individuals are eligible for consideration for this program if their adjusted incomes do not exceed federally established income limits for the Wayne County area.

If you qualify and are accepted as a participant in the rental assistance program, the amount you pay for rent and utilities may vary in some instances, but generally will not exceed 30 percent of your income. Those who receive Section 8 assistance may stay in their present home or choose a new place in which to live. Either way, the dwelling must be decent, safe and sanitary.

The rental assistance program is offered to eligible families and individuals upon availability of vouchers.
