Voucher discrimination is illegal here

Michigan Public Act 195 of 2024 (effective April 2, 2025) prohibits housing discrimination based on lawful source of income statewide — but the state law only applies to landlords who own 5 or more rental units. Small landlords (1-4 units) remain exempt under state law; local ordinances may still apply.

These are HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, not an adopted housing authority payment standard or a guaranteed rent approval. Your authority determines assistance using its schedule, household income, voucher size and utility allowance. Rent reasonableness and inspection requirements also apply. How HUD vouchers work.
