Welcome and
thank you for visiting our web site. At this time
the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program Waiting
List for the Plymouth/Dearborn Heights Housing
Commission is currently closed indefinitely. When
the list reopens, public notice will be given.
Reminder:
If you sent in an application during the
April/May 2007 open waiting list period and did
not receive a letter stating that you are on the
Plymouth Housing Waiting, then your application
was not randomly selected. You may re-apply the
next time the waiting list is open. If
you received a letter and would like to change
your address or any other information, it must
be done in writing. We cannot take any changes
or additions to your information over the
phone. At this time we cannot tell you when you
will receive a voucher. Please be patient. All
communication will be by mail, so it is
important that we have a current mailing address
for you. If you need to confirm that we have
received any mailing(s) from you, please send
the mail via certified or confirmation receipt.
It may not always be possible to return calls to
tell you we received your information.
Mission
Statement:
The mission of the
Plymouth Housing Commission is to provide quality
housing for eligible people in a professional,
fiscally prudent manner and be a positive force in
our community by working with others to assist these
families with appropriate supportive services.
The Basics:
Plymouth
Housing Commission manages two programs. One is
Public Housing, the other is the Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) Program or commonly referred to as the
Section 8 Program.
The public housing
building is Tonquish Creek Manor. It is a joint
effort between the City of Plymouth and the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
specifically designed for men and women ages 62 and
over. It is a 104-unit apartment building that
provides senior citizens an independent lifestyle.
You must be 62 years of age at the time of
submitting an application. The 1 bedroom apartments
are subsidized by HUD, therefore, the rent amount is
based on individual income. Tonquish Creek Manor is
located a few blocks away from downtown Plymouth.
The HCV program is
a program that is governed by HUD to provide
financial housing assistance to eligible
low-income. Family income must be within HUD
guidelines for household size in order to qualify.
The rent for the apartment or house must be
reasonable and must pass the HUD Housing Quality
Standards.
