Michigan Housing Locater offers free rental listings


no northerly or southerly winds, please!
by joojanta

A week or so back, the Great Lakes IT Report tipped us off to the Michigan Housing Locater from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. The site is devoted to assisting Michigan residents in finding affordable housing, and giving property owners a marketing tool for their rental portfolios.

The free site allows landlords to enter property details and amenities and to add floor plans, photos, renters' application and even a lease. Renters can search by zip code, amenities, keywords and whether the property offers income-based rental. When they find a likely subject, they can see Google maps of the location and email inquiries directly to landlords.

Check out MichiganHousingLocator.com.

    Looking for a two or three bedroom home, you've come to the right place. I have homes for rent in nice, safe and quiet neighborhoods. The homes have unfinished basements with one or two car garages. All my homes have a living and dinning room and a kitchen. The number of bathrooms differ for each house. Some of the homes are one story and some are two. The homes have a nice, fenced in backyard where your children can play and you know they will be safe. If interested call 810-813-6133 for more information.

    I'm a divorced of 4, working full-time in Canton with an income of $1,900 net per month. I've been on the waiting list for Section 8 for a year. I'm looking for a 3/4 bed with at least 1 1/2 bathrooms and a basement in the Canton or Plymouth area. I prefer a landlord who would be willing to accept a monthly payment from me with Section 8 making up the difference in the future. I have previously lived in Canton for 2 years and my high school senior would love to graduate with her friends from Salem H. S. contact keecherie@yahoo.com

    My husband will be leaving us at the same time that we have to be out of our home. We've been living this past winter in a home that turns into a weekly summer rental so we have to be out by June First. I've been searching every day, making calls, doing all I can but can find nothing for myself and my children to move into. I'm not on section 8 but I am on SSI do to Gravese Desease. I have five children ranging in age from 1 to 11 years. Three are girls two are boys. My children do very well in school and because of that, I have made arrangments to keep them in their same school as long as I can find a home somewhere in T.C.
    I need a place that is safe and with a rent I can afford. I need to find something ASAP so that we don't wind up homeless on June First. I'm not a partier and not a drinker. My first concern is to have a home for myself and my children, something we can actually call, 'our home'.
    Please email me if you can help. I am praying as are my children that this will happen before June First as, at that time, we won't know where to go or what to do.
    Thank you in advance if you can help.
    Laurie
