Voucher discrimination is illegal here
Detroit's City Code (§ 23-6-1, with "public benefit status" defined in § 23-1-2) protects source of income as a form of "public benefit status" — it applies to ALL Detroit landlords regardless of unit count, closing the 1-4 unit exemption in Michigan's April 2025 state law. Enforcement via Detroit Human Rights Department and MDCR.
