We want you to feel at home.
The Ferndale Housing Commission ensures high quality, affordable housing for the families we serve. We want our residents to feel secure and welcome within a diverse and inclusive community. We operate three types of housing programs: low-income public housing with the City of Ferndale, Project Based Vouchers (PBV) within the City of Ferndale and the Township of Royal Oak, and rental assistance.
Our waiting lists are currently closed. Other options include:
Check out Community Housing Network, a non-profit organization that assists people with housing.
They also have a housing hotline: (248) 269-1335
Use the State’s MSHDA housing locator to search for housing by geography, affordability and other factors.
Visit “Affordable Housing Online” to sign up for notifications of affordable housing waiting list openings.
Lakeshore Legal Aid may be helpful if you are having problems with a landlord or think you may need legal assistance. They offer free or low-cost legal assistance to seniors and those with low-income.
