Michigan has stopped issuing new housing choice vouchers, a program also known as Section 8, due to a federal funding shortfall. The Michigan State Housing Development Authority, which administers the Housing Choice Voucher program, received federal funding in May that is “short of keeping up with rising costs in Michigan,” a news release said. As a result, the state agency cannot issue new vouchers and closed the waitlist to new applicants, including to those experiencing homelessness.
