Attention Michigan Residents
Do You Need Assistance Paying Your Rent?
The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program administered by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) may be able to assist. The HCV program is a federally funded rental assistance program that assists low-income residents with paying their rent. Generally, eligible families must have income levels at, or below, the extremely low-income limit as established by HUD based on county and family size.
MSHDA’s HCV Program waiting lists for the counties listed below will be open on 3/22/2023, at 11:00 AM EST and closed on 4/5/2023, at 11:00 AM EST.

During the time the waiting lists are open, you must submit your application online at: mshda.myhousing.com. Applications are available online only; no paper applications will be available or accepted.
Applications will be entered on the waiting list in the order received (date and time). Preference will be given to County residents (those living or working in the County of application ). A dditional preferences will be given to Michigan residents (those living or working in Michigan) and to a head of household, co-head, or spouse with a disability.
Placement on the waiting list does not indicate you are eligible for rental assistance. A final determination of eligibility will be made when you are selected from the waiting list, including verifying household income and any preferences selected when applying to the list. If you selected a preference as part of your application and it cannot be verified once you are pulled from the waiting list, your application will be denied, and you will be required to reapply to the waiting list when it is open. Acceptable proof of preferences can be found on MSHDA’s HCV waiting list webpage at: www.michigan.gov/mshda/rental/housing-choice-voucher/mshda-housing-choice-voucher-hcv-waiting-list-information .
If you are disabled and require a reasonable accommodation to apply for the MSHDA Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List, please call (517) 241-8986 for assistance with your application.
