The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has allocated over $52 million to Michigan’s 105 public housing authorities this week, aiming to support the development, financing, and modernization of government-owned housing for low-income families.
With 12 communities securing grants exceeding $1 million, leading recipients include the Detroit Housing Commission with $11 million, the Inkster Housing Commission with $2.7 million, and the Flint Housing Commission with $2 million.
This funding injection facilitates crucial upgrades such as roof replacements, heating system enhancements, and water conservation measures across public housing units statewide. As over 27,000 residents rely on public housing in Michigan, these investments play a vital role in ensuring safe and sustainable living conditions for vulnerable communities, aligning with HUD’s commitment to addressing housing challenges nationwide.
