Waitlist Information
Waitlist managed by Detroit Housing Commission
The Detroit Housing Commission administers public housing for various properties, each with its own waitlist, and applicants can apply to multiple properties if qualified and the waitlist is open. Preferences may include VAWA, Elderly/Disabled, displaced by federal disaster, and Veterans preference; declining two invitations may result in removal from the waitlist.
The waitlist takes approximately two to five years and serves about 4,200 people; eligibility requires household income not to exceed 50% of the area median income, US citizenship or eligible immigration status, and criminal history checks. Historically, the DHC waitlist closes with a lottery, where all applications are accepted, and a lottery then generates the waiting list.
