Scale profile for Pontiac Housing Commission
With 1,257 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Pontiac Housing Commission sits at the 79th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 89th percentile inside MI.

Across MI's 77 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $973–$1,656/month (median $1,023). A large PHA like this typically serves more than one FMR area, so applicants should look up the metro-specific standard rather than treating the state median as their number. 5 other MI PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Pontiac Housing Commission is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.
The nationwide HUD median sits at 62%; agencies running a higher HCV share than that tend to lean toward tenant-based vouchers rather than project-based public housing stock.
