Rents and Income Limits at Weston Hall

The leasing site gives a starting rent for a studio and a range for a one-bedroom, and no rent by income level.

Rents on the leasing site and the income they imply, read October 7, 2026
Apartment	Monthly rent	Lowest yearly income at 2.5 times the rent
Studio	From $850	$25,500
One-bedroom, lowest	$1,090	$32,700
One-bedroom, highest	$1,400	$42,000

What it means: Home Connect lists a studio at the 60% level for $825, a little under the site's starting figure.

Source: thewestonhall.com, "Frequently Asked Questions": "Our studio apartments start at $850 per month" and "Our 1-bedroom apartments start at $1,090 and go up to $1,400 per month"; "gross income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent". The last column is VoucherMatch's arithmetic.

1 person	$36,700	$44,040	$58,720
2 people	$41,950	$50,340	$67,120

Watch outthe City's release counts 47 all-affordable apartments. The City's own dataset lists the building with 55 apartments, 11 of them income-restricted at 80% and 44 at market rate. Ask the office whether the apartment you are offered has an income limit and which one.

For other counties and household sizes, use the Section 8 income limits tool.

Using a Housing Voucher at Weston Hall

The leasing site says "Yes, we accept all housing vouchers", but the one-bedroom rents are above MSHDA's payment standard for the ZIP code.

What is settled and what to ask

Vouchers acceptedin the leasing site's words. Its document list takes a "Housing Voucher Award Letter" in place of pay stubs.
No vouchers attachedthe building was not on the Detroit Housing Commission's project-based voucher list on October 6, 2026 or MSHDA's Wayne County list on October 7, 2026.
The 2.5 times rule and a voucherMichigan law says a landlord that requires "a certain threshold level of income" may not exclude "a rent voucher or subsidy" (MCL 554.601c). Ask how the office counts yours. See whether landlords have to accept Section 8.
If the rent is over the standardyou pay the difference, and federal rules bar your agency from approving a new lease if your share would top 40% of your adjusted monthly income (24 CFR 982.508).
