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.
