The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) provides various programs to assist single-parent households in finding affordable housing. One of the most popular programs offered by MSHDA is the Housing Choice Voucher Program, also known as Section 8. This program provides eligible single-parent households with a voucher to help subsidize their rent and utilities. The amount that MSHDA allows for single-parent housing under this program varies depending on factors such as the household income, size, and location.<\/p>\n

The amount that MSHDA allows for single-parent housing under the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) is determined based on the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for the area in which the household resides. The FMR is calculated annually and represents the 40th percentile of typical rental rates for a particular area.<\/b><\/p>\n

Single parents who qualify for the Housing Choice Voucher Program can use the voucher to rent a house, apartment, or townhouse that meets the program’s standards. The rent must be within the FMR limits set by MSHDA. Any amount exceeding the FMR must be covered by the tenant.<\/p>\n
