Houghton Housing Commission Scattered Family
Houses
The Houghton Housing
Commission owns and manages thirty scattered houses. The
houses vary in size from a two to four bedroom style and
are ideally located throughout the City of Houghton. The
Houghton Housing Commission will maintain a waiting list
of applicants if there are no current houses available.
The applicants are then contacted as soon as an opening
occurs. In order to be eligible for low income housing,
one must qualify as a family and meet the established
income limits.

Rent Calculations
The cost of rent is
different for every resident. Each resident can choose
to pay either a flat rental amount established for the
individual bedroom size of the house, or 30% of their
"Adjusted" income. "Adjusted" income
is the amount of annual income an individual has after
deducting $480.00 for each minor child and
medical/handicapped expenses for qualified individuals.
