Housing Assistance Programs

This program uses private sector housing to house low income families and  provides a rent subsidy to the landlord on behalf of the family.   Eastpointe Housing Commission administers 171 Housing Choice Vouchers throughout Macomb County.  New clients must live in the jurisdiction for one (1) year before porting out.  

Every housing commission adopts payments standards based on current funding.  

Effective  November 1, 2023, our payments standards are as follows:                                                  

                                                                                                                                           1 Bdm =$ 1,070

                                                                                                                                           2 Bdm =$ 1,356

                                                                                                                                           3 Bdm =$ 1,595

                                                                                                                                           4 Bdm =$ 1,719

In addition, every housing commission adopts their own subsidy standards based on current funding.   A subsidy standard is used to determine what bedroom size voucher the family will be issued.  In accordance with our Administrative Policy,  EHC assigns the Head of Household a bedroom of their own, and uses two (2) heartbeats per bedroom to determine the rest

PORTABILITY:   The Eastpointe Housing Commission is currently BILLING ported in vouchers.
