Currently, the Housing Commission assists 335 families throughout Macomb & Wayne counties.

The Eastpointe Housing Commission offers two types of rental assistance:
We operate two (2) low-rent housing buildings for elderly persons 50 + and over. In this program, elderly families move into our apartment buildings and pay a reduced rent based on their income. We also administer a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program — which is rental assistance for low income families utilizing private sector rental housing.

To successfully house that portion of the elderly and near-elderly population that financially cannot afford to own their own home or live the private sector housing.

We hope to achieve this by enhancing the image of public hosing within our community by offering a safe, secure, clean, comfortable environment with compassionate, caring staff, thus creating a rental housing of choice, not necessity.
