Scale profile for Westland Housing Commission

With 1,255 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Westland Housing Commission sits at the 79th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 87th percentile inside MI. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.

Across MI's 77 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $973–$1,656/month (median $1,023).
