Studio Section 8 apartments in Oakland Plaza District, Pontiac
The HUD rent benchmark is $1,000/mo for a studio unit in ZIP 48340 — Small-Area FMR. This is not a guaranteed rent approval; confirm the applicable household calculation and utility allowance with the administering agency.
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.
